Building Applications Using DUIM
4 Adding Menus To The Application
Now it is time to consider adding some menus to your application. There are two basic ways that you can create a system of menus for your application:
- Design a hierarchical series of panes using the
<menu-bar>,<menu>, and various menu buttons classes, and glue the elements of this design together in the correct order. - Use a command table.
In this chapter, the first of these methods is demonstrated. For information about command tables, refer to Chapter 6, "Using Command Tables". Before discussing the first method listed above, the overall design of the menu system for the task list manager is discussed.
