java.awt.Choice

Creating a choice menu is a little more complex than creating the other user interface components you've seen. There's an extra step, adding the menu items to the menu. That is the five steps are

1. Declare the Choice
2. Allocate the Choice
3. Add the menu items to the Choice
4. Add the Choice to the layout
5. Add an ItemListener to the Choice

  public void init() {

    Choice ch;
    ch = new Choice();
    ch.addItem("1");
    ch.addItem("2");
    ch.addItem("3");
    ch.addItem("4");
    ch.addItem("5");
    add(ch);

  }
