Hi
I could not understand you problem completly.
See this code:
for setting the frame size:
frame.setSize(300,300);
// or frame.setSize(new Dimension(300,300))
frame.setVisiable(true);
if you want to set to for current screen size use
Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
frame.setSize(dim);
hope this will help

Hi John,
I am not sure why you have a problem. Try the following code. It creates a frame that is very short and has a large pulldown menu that displays itself fully (goes beyond the frame border) when it is displayed. I am running on JDK1.2.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyMenu extends JFrame
{
  public MyMenu()
  {
    super( "MenuBar Test" );
    JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
    JMenu menu = new JMenu( "File" );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "First" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Second" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Third" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Fourth" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Fifth" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Sixth" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Seventh" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Eighth" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Ninth" ) );
    menu.add( new JMenuItem( "Tenth" ) );
    mb.add( menu );
    setJMenuBar( mb );
    setSize( 500, 100 );
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
    MyMenu mm = new MyMenu();
    mm.setVisible( true );
  }
}

Regards,
Manfred.
