Attaching pulldown menus to forms

Topic group Related topics

To attach a pulldown menu to a form, choose your form’s MenuFile property, click the tool button, then locate the .MNU file you want on the form.

If you haven’t already created a .MNU file or don’t have a sample installed, you can create one using the Menu designer (described later in this section).

Note that at design time, menus don’t appear on your forms. To see an attached menu in action, you have to run the form. If the menu you’re attaching is also open in the Menu designer, you must close that as well before running the form.

Also note that if the MDI property of your form is set to true (the default), your pulldown menu appears on the parent window or application frame, not on the form itself.
