popmenu for combobox items

[softjack]

Hi,

I have a combobox having some items in the drop down menu. Now i want a popup menu for each of the item. How this can be achieved. Any ideas ?

Thanks

Pop up from where? Wouldn't be better a tree menu?

Cheers,

Hi Dian,

Thnx for replying. Actually i need something like...

I have a combobox and i click on the drop down button... i can see all the items of combobox from where i can select

Now If i right click on any of the items of the combobox then my popup menu should appear without hiding the combobox items.

For example :

If i have a 'copy item' on my popup menu and i right click on a combobox item (say 'Apple') while all other items are displayed...popup menu should appear and whn i'll click on 'copy item', the value 'Apple' should get copied to the clipboard.

I hope tht explains the problem...please help how can i get through this.

Thanks

I understand, but I'm not sure how to do that. I guess you can add a MouseListener to the JComboBox component, but I don't know how it will behave on rigth click button.

My advice is to use a two-levels JMenu, will be easier and more usable.

Cheers,
