JMenuBar not showing on a JFrame unless resized manually.

[corrax]

Hi.
I have searched for this, and found nothing similar.
I am using a JFrame that contains a JMenuBar.
The program works fine except that unless I resize the Frame manually, the MenuBar doesn't show.
Anyone know how to fix this?

public class Move extends JFrame{
        private JMenuBar Menubar;

        public static void main(String [] args)
        {
	     new Move("Move");
         }
         public Move (String name)  {   
	     super(name);
	     this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	      this.pack();
	      this.setSize(500,500);
	      this.setLocation(600,500);
	      this.setVisible(true);

              Menubar = new JMenuBar();//The main menubar
	      setJMenuBar(Menubar);

              ...
         }
}

Thanks!

Try packing and doing all the stuff that displays it after setting the menu.

I tried that ,but it is the same output.

I think that that menubar is hidden by the title area of the frame (where it has the close and minimize buttons, and the title)

Fixed!

I changed it to this.

public static void main(String [] args)
	{
		Move mo = new Move("Move");
		mo.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		mo.setVisible(true);
	}
	public Move (String name)  {   
		super(name);
		this.setSize(500,500);
		this.setLocation(600,500);
                
                ...
        }

It looks like your fix just sets the visibility after adding the menu, I'm pretty sure that calls to lack, setSize and setVisible should be done after you have added everything to the frame. Either way, glad you solved it.
