Adding Separator Bars
If you examine the menu system for an application running on your chosen platform, you may see that individual menu items are often separated by a line, enabling you to divide the items in a cascading menu into functional groups.
How do I do that?
A separator is simply an instance of
MenuItem
that has been given the
SWT.SEPARATOR style:
MenuItem separator = new MenuItem(filemenu, SWT.SEPARATOR);
A separator menu item will take no action and cannot be clicked.
Note
A menu without separators may function okay, but it just won’t look good.
