dropdown panel with java


I am currently working to create a GUI and encountered the following problem: Similar to a JComboBox or JMenu i want to create a drop-down-panel with java, but i don't want to list a few JMenuItems or something similar. What I want to display is a new JPanel. You could compare it to the chatwindow in facebook.

Not eve Google could help me. All I could find was about JComboBox or JMenu.

So here is my question: Is there already a predefined class, that im just unable to find or do I have to make one for myself? If I have to create it, how do I do it?


Solution

  • To bring this to an "official" end:

    You can actually add any Component to a JMenu. You are not restricted to only JMenuItems.
