All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionListener, MouseListener, ImageObserver, ItemSelectable, MenuContainer, Serializable, EventListener, Accessible, SwingConstants

public class PDropDown
extends JButton
implements ActionListener, MouseListener

A drop-down menu similar to a combo-box. The big difference is when a menu item is selected the label for the menu does not change. Registering an ActionListener on this component will result in a callback with the JMenuItem that was selected from the popup menu. The caller does not need to register an ActionListener with each JMenuItem themselves.
