The R:BASE Application Wizard displays the "Creating Your Application Main Menu" window. Here, we will define the Main Menu titles and add the actions to each.
The R:BASE Application environment will create a window with a menu bar and pull-down menus similar to a menu bar and pull-down menus that you would see in any Windows based program.
A pull-down menu has three parts: a menu bar, pull-down menus, and submenus, which branch off of the drop-down menu. The name of the menu appears in the menu bar. Each menu has one or more options on the pull-down menu and submenu. Users choose an option to perform the programmed action.
The image below of the R:BASE Form Designer window is an examples of the pull-down menu parts. The menu bar option "View" is just like the menu bar option "Customers" on the SkyWrite Ink application. The drop-down menu option "Toolbars" is just like the drop-down menu option "Print Customer Labels". The submenu option, for all the different toolbars, is the submenu options, "By Company", "By Zip Code".
For a menu, you first name it, and then add the actions for the pull-down menu and submenu. We will begin with the "Employees" Main Menu.
