public class JCheckBoxMenuItem extends JMenuItem implements SwingConstants, Accessible
A menu item that can be selected or deselected. If selected, the menu item typically appears with a checkmark next to it. If unselected or deselected, the menu item appears without a checkmark. Like a regular menu item, a check box menu item can have either text or a graphic icon associated with it, or both.Either
isSelected
/setSelected
orgetState
/setState
can be used to determine/specify the menu item's selection state. The preferred methods areisSelected
andsetSelected
, which work for all menus and buttons. ThegetState
andsetState
methods exist for compatibility with other component sets.Menu items can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
Action
s. Using anAction
with a menu item has many benefits beyond directly configuring a menu item. Refer to Swing Components SupportingAction
for more details, and you can find more information in How to Use Actions, a section in The Java Tutorial.For further information and examples of using check box menu items, see How to Use Menus, a section in The Java Tutorial.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the
java.beans
package. Please seeXMLEncoder
