Menus

In the Menu editor, you will notice that when you press the < and > buttons, dots will appear before the selected item. These show what item belongs to what. For example:

So, to create a sub menu, simply follow these steps:

1) Select Tools | Menu Editor

2) Create a menu item which you want to contain the sub menu (which will have the > after it) i.e. Insert on the File menu

3) Insert an item after the menu item you have just created. (i.e. after Insert...). Click Insert:

4) Enter the text to be displayed for the sub menu item in the Caption text box (i.e. Text). As always you can use the & to set the Shortcut key: So &Text would display the menu item Text.

5) Enter a name for the menu item. This will be used when accessing the menu's properties in your code.

6) Press the > button until the item is indented once more than the menu you want to contain a sub menu. You will see four dots (....) appear before the text Open. This shows that Open is a sub menu item on the menu item Insert:

6) Click OK. If you have used the examples, you will now see something like this when you click on File:
