JMenu Bar On Mac Problem

>What look and feel are you using?

None, just the default look and feel when I use my code. But that doesn't explain why it doesn't work with the code directly from Apple's site.

>Again, nobody knows whats causing the problem because nobody knows what your code looks like.

I posted the code in the link when I first opened the topic I said,

""http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/OSXAdapter/index.html

and even the stuff you had sent me camickr. I compile and run the example code without changing it and the menu still doesn't appear on the screen on my mac but in the frame instead. Does anyone have any idea wat could be causing this?""

So my sceee is that example code there. I would paste it here but its composed of seperate classes and about 3 pages...should that really be posted in the forumn? Its not a short snippet.

But thats the thing that gets me. I got this code directly from the apple site, and when I run it, the menu bar still isn't in the right place.

I know it doesn't work, but the code you just posted doesn't work either.

> And don't yell at me if this is to much code, I said it b4 I posted it.

The link I gave you has an article that attempts to explain the problem of using "standard" code and what you have to do to customize it for the MAC. So it appears to directly address your issue. So why would you not post that code since it is much simpler to understand and is not using any fancy API's? Let other people test it to see if they have a problem as well or whether the problem is just your machine.

I'm just trying to help you learn how to post a better question. People will take more time to at simple code rather than longer more complicated code.

You haven't got an answer to this question in a couple of days now. Don't you think posting simple code will get more people looking at the problem?
