How to Edit a Menu

Menu Resource

A menu resource stores a tree of sub-menus and menu items that define the appearance and function of an application menu. A menu is a specialized input control that lets the user select commands and submenus from a list of menu items.

A menu resource is displayed graphically in the Menu Edit mode. Menu Edit mode shows a menu in a tree view with submenus, menu and popup items.

Changing a menu item

A menu item has a caption, a menu resource ID, and an optional shortcut.

Menu IDs cannot be edited. These values are hard coded into the target file. Changing them is likely to cause the modified program to crash.

1. Expand the 'Menu' folder and select the target menu resource from the Resource Tree.
2. Press the Resource Editor button to edit this selected menu resource, or simply double-click the resource item directly.

Menu items can be deleted by erasing their captions.

4. Press OK to close the Resource Editor and select 'File' -> 'Save File As ...' to save the changes you've just made to the target file. If warned that the image size has changed, click "Yes" to update the file size.

Known Limitations:

There's no way to add new items to a menu in the current version.
There's no way to change Language Id.
