=== How do I add a drop-down menu to a toolbar button?

To add a drop-down menu to a component in a toolbar, you can either extend `CallableSystemAction` and override
`public Component getToolbarPresenter()`,
or implement `javax.swing.Action` or any subclass thereof, and implement `link:http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-util/org/openide/util/actions/Presenter.Toolbar.html[Presenter.Toolbar]`
which defines that method.

You might want to create a `JToggleButton`, and when the button is pressed, show a `JPopupMenu`. (Also try `org.openide.awt.DropDownButtonFactory`.)

Example:

[source,java]
----

public class PickDrawingLineAction extends CallableSystemAction {
    private static JToggleButton toggleButton;
    private static ButtonGroup buttonGroup;
    private static JPopupMenu popup;
    private MyMenuItemListener menuItemListener;

    List handledCharts;

    public void performAction() {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                toggleButton.setSelected(true);
            }
        });

    }

    public String getName() {
        return "Pick Drawing Line";
    }

    public HelpCtx getHelpCtx() {
        return HelpCtx.DEFAULT_HELP;
    }

    protected boolean asynchronous() {
        return false;
    }

    public Component getToolbarPresenter() {
        Image iconImage = Utilities.loadImage(
            "org/blogtrader/platform/core/netbeans/resources/drawingLine.png");
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(iconImage);

        toggleButton = new JToggleButton();

        toggleButton.setIcon(icon);
        toggleButton.setToolTipText("Pick Drawing Line");

        popup = new JPopupMenu();
        menuItemListener = new MyMenuItemListener();

        handledCharts = PersistenceManager.getDefalut()
                        .getAllAvailableHandledChart();

        buttonGroup = new ButtonGroup();

        for (AbstractHandledChart handledChart : handledCharts) {
            JRadioButtonMenuItem item =
                new JRadioButtonMenuItem(handledChart.toString());
            item.addActionListener(menuItemListener);
            buttonGroup.add(item);
            popup.add(item);
        }

        toggleButton.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
            public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                int state = e.getStateChange();
                if (state == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
                    /** show popup menu on toggleButton at position: (0, height) */
                    popup.show(toggleButton, 0, toggleButton.getHeight());
                }
            }
        });

        popup.addPopupMenuListener(new PopupMenuListener() {
            public void popupMenuCanceled(PopupMenuEvent e) {
                toggleButton.setSelected(false);
            }
            public void popupMenuWillBecomeInvisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {
                toggleButton.setSelected(false);
            }
            public void popupMenuWillBecomeVisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {
            }
        });

        return toggleButton;
    }

    private class MyMenuItemListener implements ActionListener {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
            JMenuItem item = (JMenuItem)ev.getSource();
            String selectedStr = item.getText();

                    selectedHandledChart = handledChart;
                    break;
                }
            }

            if (selectedHandledChart == null) {
                return;
