UI Designer provides an intuitive interface for adding menu support to your UI designs. When a menu component is placed into a UI design it is represented by an icon in the non-layout region of the UI Design Editor view. The editing of menu items is done using the menu editor.
The cursor displays a plus sign () inside of a small square when it is located at a place which will accept the new Menu Bar component or a slashed circle (
) when it is located at a place that will not accept it.
A new menu is added to the design. As shown in figure 1, the new menu initializes the text for the first item to the string "Type here".
Figure 1 - A newly created menu inviting you to type the name of its first item.
You can now rename its first entry and/or add additional items to the menu.
