A Menu control displays a custom menu for your application. A menu can include commands, submenus, and separator bars. Each menu you create can have up to four levels of submenus.

Remarks

To create a Menu control, use the Menu Editor. Enter the name of the Menu control in the Caption box. To create a separator bar, enter a single hyphen (-) in the Caption box. To display a check mark to the left of a menu item, select the Checked box.

While you can set some Menu control properties using the Menu Editor, all Menu control properties are displayed in the Properties window. To display the properties of a Menu control, select the menu name in the Objects list at the top of the Properties window.

When you create an MDI application, the menu bar on the MDI child form replaces the menu bar on the MDIForm object when the child form is active.
