Method Detail

getMenuItemLabel

String getMenuItemLabel()

Tells a window manager what label to put on the menu to select this window. The window manager is entitled to shorten the label, but must subsequently take that into account. It's therefore necessary that no two actual menu item labels be the same.

getFilename

String getFilename()

If there's a file associated with the window, return its name; null otherwise.

getWindowMenu

JMenu getWindowMenu()

The window menu to be populated by the window manager.

Returns:

the managed window's menu to be populated. The menu cannot be null; however, the managed window itself may choose not to add it to the menu bar.
