Summary
VFW082 – Toolbars, Menus and Pop–up Menus
Important Observations
- If you are developing applications based on VL Frameworks, then most of your menus and toolbars can be provided by the Framework.
- Check the under for a range of suitable images. These are mainly PNG format images in various sizes (for example, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 etc.).
Tips & Techniques
- In this exercise all the menu and spin button items were left with default names. E.g. MITM_1. In a real application it is good design and will simplify maintenance if you give menu items meaningful names.
- The templates VL_BBMNUBR and VL_FBBMNUB can be used to generate a menu bar in a form that you can easily adapt to suit your own requirements. You should generate from the template into an RDML-enabled form and then change the form to be RDMLX-enabled.
