Menu Pane and Menu Bars

The Menu bar is a primary method of accessing application functionality. Selecting a heading on the menu bar causes a menu pane to be displayed from which a number of other options can be selected.

There are two ways of defining and implementing a menu:

  1. Define the static features of the menu using resources of types MENU_BAR, MENU_PANE and MENU_TITLE.

  2. Write a CQikAppui-derived class to implement the menus.
