Creating Menus
Menus are an attribute of a frame that you create in Visual
Java. You add and modify menus using the Menu Editor.
Menu bars can be added only to frames. If the container to
which you want to add a menu is a panel, you can change it
to a frame by selecting the panel from the main GUI list
and choosing Visual=>Main Container.
Starting the Menu Editor
To activate the Menu Editor:
- Select (click on) the name of the frame in the
container list.
(The list next to the component palette)
- Choose Visual=>Edit Attributes from the main
WorkShop menu bar.
- Click on the Edit menubar button.
For information about using the Menu Editor, see Menu Editor.
