Menu Objects Overview

ObjectWindows menu objects encapsulate menu resources and provide an interface for controlling and modifying the menu.

Many applications use only a single menu assigned to the main window during its initialization. Other applications might require more complicated menu handling. ObjectWindows menu objects, encapsulated in the TMenu, TSystemMenu, TPopupMenu, and TMenuDescr classes, give you an easy way to create and manipulate menus, from basic functionality to complex menu merging.

When you work with menu objects, you can

• Construct menu objects
• Create menu groups in menu resources
• Modify menu objects
• Query menu objects
• Use popup menu objects
