Question

I got my inv finally working! 😀 But, you know… now… it’s dumb. I want it to say “Use Item 1” or whatever when I Right-click so I do this:

        if (actItemx == "Item 1") {
            popup.add(dropMenuItem + " " + actItemx); // should print "Use Item 1"
            popup.add(cancelMenuItem);
        }

Looks fine to me… but… when I compile, it’s fine. When I run it, it’s fine… but when I DO IT:

I would have sworn that because it’s displayed correctly in CMD that it would display correctly on JMenu… weird.

Answer 1

popup.add(dropMenuItem + " " + actItemx);

That command is adding the toString() representaion of the dropMenuItem Swing component, plus a space, the the String value of actItemx.

I would guess you want:

popup.add(dropMenuItem.getText() + " " + actItemx);
