JComboBox that is a Menu

Question

I'm looking to create a JComboBox that acts as a menu. For example, when you drop it down, you can select items like you would in a JMenuBar.

So it would take JMenus and JMenuItems as instead of Strings.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

One way to accomplish this would be to create a button that when clicked shows a JPopupmenu, just below the button. The menu would allow the user to select from the menu or submenu. The label/selection of the original button should be changed when a menu item is selected.
