Here is a short description of the FileMenu functionality New : Opens a new JInternalFrame in the client area of a Multi Document Interface (MDI) application. This event can be trapped and further functionality can be added Open : Opens the FileChooser dialog box from where a user can select a file. The default behavior is to open the file and read the contents and show them in the client area. If it is a text file the ascii characters are read and shown. Incase the opened file is an image or some other media file, then the user needs to handle this event to do the needful. This event can be trapped and further functionality can be added Save: Saves the contents of the current/active JInternalFrame into a file. If it is a new file, then the FileChooser dialog is opened, prompting the user to select/specify the file name where to save the contents. This event can be trapped and further functionality can be added SaveAs: Opens the FileChooser dialog. User is prompted to select/specify the file name where the contents of the file will be saved. This event can be trapped and further functionality can be added RecentFiles : Opens a flip menu. The menu items are the recently opened files. Selecting the file opens the file in a new JInternalFrame. The number of files shown can be modified Exit: Prompts the user to save the modified data and then exits. If the data is not modified the application exits without prompting to save
