== Creating a Menu ==

To create and register a new menu in a project you need to use the '''File | New''' menu command. In the opened '''Create Project Item''' dialog you should select the '''Menu''' type of created item. Then the dialog will accept the following shape:

In this dialog you should specify the following items:

'''Name'''
:In the '''Name''' field you should type in the ''name'', which will be associated with this menu in the automatically generated code. This ''name'' should be a correct Visual Prolog name. It should be any sequence of letters, digits, and underscores, beginning with a letter. This ''name'' appears as the name of the files storing the menu description (with '''.mnu''' extension). This file appears in the project tree in the '''Project''' window.

'''Parent Directory'''
:In the '''Parent Directory''' field you should type in the parent directory (the <vp>TaskWindow\</vp> on the picture). The menu resource file will be placed into the selected directory.

=== Menu Attributes Dialog ===

After you press the '''OK''' button in the '''Create Project Item''' dialog, the '''Menu Attributes''' dialog appears.

After clicking the '''OK''' button the new menu will be created and its name will be added to the list of menus existing in the current project. You can always go back and wake up (with the '''Resource | Attribute''' task menu item or with the '''Attribute''' item from pop-up menu) the '''Menu Attributes''' dialog for the menu. The only possible setting for menu attributes is:

*'''Constant'''
*:In this list edit the programmer can change the default resource constant for the menu (at the picture it is '''''id_mymenu'''''). A menu identifier must be unique throughout the project.

*'''Resourse File'''
*:In this read-only field the programmer can see the name of the file in which the creating menu resource will be stored.
