JMenu addmenulistener

Question

I want to use Jmenu as buttons to change what is showed in the frame but when the menu is selected the selection is not released. Below is the code for Jmenu instance and it changes the location of two fields and labels.

mnAddUser.addMenuListener(new MenuListener() {

            @Override
            public void menuSelected(MenuEvent e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                lblUserId.setBounds(150, 86, 111, 30);
                userIDField.setBounds(273, 80, 268, 43);    

                lblUserName.setBounds(150, 165, 111, 30);
                userNameField.setBounds(273, 159, 268, 43);

                lblUserName.setVisible(true);
                userNameField.setVisible(true);

                btnAddUser.setBounds(187, 235, 150, 43);
                btnReset.setBounds(390, 235, 150, 43);

                btnAddUser.setText("Add User");
            }

            @Override
            public void menuDeselected(MenuEvent e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            @Override
            public void menuCanceled(MenuEvent e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }           

        });

`setBounds(...)` just forget about ever using that and learn how to use `LayoutManager`'s. Trust me, it will save you lots of time, make your code cleaner, simpler and will work better across different platforms. — Guillaume Polet, Mar 21 '13 at 19:12
don't understand why you are fiddling with a menulistener - instead add actions to the menu and be happy — kleopatra, Mar 22 '13 at 12:37

maybe there no reason to use JMenu added to JMenuBar and listening by MenuListener
simple to add JButtons to the JMenuBar, maybe to use JButton.setFocusable(false);
