HI there,

i want to display a jcombobox withhin a jpopupmenu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu();
JComboBox box = new JComboBox();
...
menu.add(box);
menu.show(frame, 0,0);
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----

after opening the popupmenu of the combobox i will get a
nullpointerexception.

is there no way to display two popupmenues at the same time ?
see the exception log below.

many thanks i advance !

uwe clement
