Chapter 24

Configuring Desktop menus

For each type of menu, the menu commands can include mnemonics and accelerator keys, and also display further cascade menus.

Each type of menu is defined using an identical syntax. However, the names of the desktop, directory and treeview menu bars are defined in the Desktop resource file.

This chapter describes how to:

• provide additional commands for users on the standard menus

• define mnemonics and accelerator keys

• provide additional pull-down or pop-up menus

• disable menu commands

• remove menus
