Menu seperators

On menus you will notice menu separators like this:

To do this in VB, simply use the following steps.

1) Select Tools | Menu Editor

2) Click on the item on the list after the menu item you want the separator to be displayed after, and click Insert. Make sure that there are the same number of .... before the item. If there is not use the < (reduce) and > (increase) buttons to change it.

3) Enter the a "-" (without quotes) in the Caption text box. This tells VB that this is a menu separator.

4) Enter a name for the separator and click OK.
