    15 <p>The Symbian platform uses <parmname>MENU_BAR</parmname> resources to

    16 create the <parmname>Options</parmname> menu, when a mobile device user selects

    17 the <parmname>Options</parmname> softkey. The options that appear above the

    18 softkeys are determined by <xref href="GUID-A4F3738C-CBFD-4151-9132-26FE05966715.dita">CBA

    19 resources</xref>. The <parmname>MENU_BAR</parmname> resources map the text

    20 that appears in the <parmname>Options</parmname> menu with commands that are

    21 collected by the event loop of the application framework and delivered to

    22 your application for <xref href="GUID-4941C035-C359-4968-9BD5-31F44EE5F810.dita">command

    23 handling</xref>.</p>

    24 <p>As the above figure illustrates, in menu bars, different elements in

    25 the <b>Options</b> menu are declared in a series of <xref href="GUID-5F749184-C804-41FC-BA81-038783BDC967.dita">resource

    26 statements</xref>. For information on declaring resources for menu bars, see <xref href="GUID-E849C798-07A0-47B3-BDBF-203325062FBD.dita">Menu

    27 bar resource statements</xref>.</p>
