Inserting the First Menu Bar Item in a New Menu

You must add an initial menu bar item.

Use this procedure if you want to add the menu bar item and then work on its drop-down menu.

  1. In the Tree View view, select the first menu item, and then select Insert Submenu Item from the pop-up menu.
    PowerBuilder displays an empty box as a subitem in the Tree Menu view.
  2. Type the text for the menu item and press Enter.
    The menu item shows the new text in the menu bar in the WYSIWYG Menu view and in the Tree Menu view.
After you have created the first menu bar item, you can add more items to the menu bar or start building drop-down and cascading menus.
