java.awt.MenuItem (JDK 1.0)

This class encapsulates a menu item with a specified textual label. A MenuItem can be added to a menu pane with the Menu.add() method. The disable() method makes an item non-selectable; you might use it to "gray-out" a menu item when the command it represents is not valid in the current context. The enable() method makes an item selectable again. In Java 1.1, use setActionCommand() to specify an identifying string that is included in ActionEvent events generated by the menu item.
