Hello Java Gurus,

I am new to Java and am playing around with popup menus. For some reason my menu item is throwing a compiler error.

Here is my Code:

1. JPopupMenu pm = new JPopupMenu();;
2. MenuItem mi = new MenuItem("Add");
3. mi.addActionListener(this);
4. mi.setActionCommand("add");
5. pm.add(mi); <-- This line is giving me an error

Error:
Cannot find symbol
symbol: method add(java.awt.MenuItem)
location: class javax.swing.JPopupMenu

I feel like it is something simple but can't figure it out...

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Never mind...

I figured it out as soon as I posted this... I just declared mi as JMenuItem instead of MenuItem.
