The next stop is creating the application main menu. This is the menu bar that appears right under the caption bar.
To begin, you need to create the first level of menu choices. This process begins when you press the Add Item to Root button (figure 19).
(figure 19)
Looking at this screen, you can see that we have the following options: Add Items to Root Level, this gives you the ability to create a new menu tree like the Employees or Product root level in the "Test Application" sample; Add Items to Selected, using this button, you can add secondary levels to the root level of the menu. An example of this would be Enter New Employee or Product Search. There is no limitation as to how many levels that you can create; Delete Selected Item, allows you to delete the menu item that you have the focus on. You can delete menu items one at a time, or the whole menu tree by selecting the root menu and clicking the Delete Selected Item button; Edit Selected Item, gives you the option to edit the properties of an existing menu item. Simply focus the menu item in question, and click the Edit Selected Item button to adjust the properties.
