Choice

A choice is a pull-down list. It is also called as combo box. The choice menu is used to display a list of choices for the user to select from. The choice menu is selected by mouse click on the choice control, alist of options drops down.

To create a choice, first create a constructor, and the populate the choice by repeatedly calling addItem().

int getItemCount()  - returns the number of items in the choice menu.

void select(int position)  - select the item at the given position.

String getItem(int index)  - return the text of a given item.

Example:

import java.applet.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class ChoiceDemo extends Applet 

{

    public void init()

    {

        Choice color=new Choice();

        color.add("Red");

        color.add("Green");

        color.add("Blue");

        add(new Label("normal appearance"));

        add(color);

    }
