10.7 Summary

 For getting started with menus, we use Menu Editor Tool that helps us to effortlessly
create a menu interface for our applications, that too in no time.

 Coding for the menus is the same as coding for command buttons - coding for the ‘click’
event.

 VB 6 provides a simple editor for strings but you have to have a file created in another tool
for all of the other choices.
 To use the icons in a program, we use a VB 6 “Load Resource” function.

 Variables can be set to move the menu to the left of the image, or to change the number of
pixels away from the image.
 Microsoft provides two tools with Microsoft Visual C++ that allow Visual C++
programmers to add version information to compiled applications i.e., the Microsoft
Resource Compiler (RC.EXE) and the Microsoft App Studio, a resource editor.
 The Flyout Menus allow you set up a series of positioning rules for more complex
positioning behavior.
 The Flyouts will use the default positioning rules to put the top-left corner of the menu
near the top-right corner of the arrow image.
