Where to find/create the menu control...??

Hi guys,

A question here. How do i create my custom menu for a standard exe? I can't seem to find the menu control anywhere.

What i mean by custom menu is whereby i wanna create a dropdown menu like the one we often see in MS word, pp...etc, the File, Edit, View,...etc

I know the syntax is something like mnuMenuName

Thanks thanks...

Cheers,
Justin

Select "Menu Editor..." from VB's Tools menu.

Keep in mind that the "Menu Editor..." (Ctrl+E) is enabled only when the form (or usercontrol) is open in object mode, not code mode.

You can also right-click on the form and select Menu Editor...

Didn't I already answer this question? In the cmdLoad_Click event, display the Open File Common Dialog as demonstrated at the link I posted in my previous reply.

Your last question does not have anything to do with the title of this hread "Where to find/create the menu control...?" I suggest you to start a new thread, so that you can get more help
