Using Menu Objects with Frame Windows

ObjectWindows frame window objects (TFrameWindow and TFrameWindow-derived classes) provide a number of functions that you can use to assign, change, and modify menus.

There are two ways to manipulate frame window menus:

• Directly assign or change the frame window's main menu. This is typically how you work with menus when you have a single menu that does not use menu merging.
• Assign and merge the frame window's menu descriptor with that of client and child windows. Menu descriptors are objects that divide the menu bar into functional groups and permit easy merging and removal of popup menus.

These two methods of using menu objects are described in
