New MenuItem Wizard

A wizard for creating new menu items

Overview

New MenuItem Wizard

The New MenuItem Wizard allows developers to create menu items within an existing Servoy Menu. This tool is used to define a unique identifier (name) for a menu item and add it to the desired menu structure. Each menu item can later be customized and linked to specific actions or properties.

Sections

Menu Item Name

A single input field for specifying the menu item’s unique name (or ID). The name is validated to ensure uniqueness within the selected menu.

Action Buttons

• OK: Adds the menu item to the selected menu or menu item with the specified name.

• Cancel: Closes the wizard without adding a menu item.

Using the New MenuItem Wizard

Create a new MenuItem

Here are the steps for using the New MenuItem Wizard:

1. Open the Wizard

   • In the Solution Explorer, locate the Menus section and expand it.
   • Right-click on the menu or an existing menu item and select Create menu item to launch the wizard.

2. Define the Menu Item Name

   • Enter a meaningful and unique name for the new menu item in the provided input field.

   • Ensure the name reflects the purpose or function of the item for better organization.

3. Add Sub-Menu Items (Optional)

   • To create a sub-menu item, right-click on an existing menu item instead of the menu itself and select Create menu item.

   • Enter the name for the sub-menu item. The new item will automatically be added as a child of the selected menu item, creating a nested structure.

4. Finalize the Action

   • Click OK to save your changes. The new item will appear in the Solution Explorer, either as a top-level item or nested under its parent menu item.
   • If you need to exit without adding a menu item, click Cancel.

See Menu Item for properties that can be set on a Menu Item from Properties View.
