Creating a menu with AppBuilder


This shows the initial screen of the AppBuilder program.

---

An empty frame occures in the workspace after the user has clicked the button in the "Component Toolbar" labeled "Frame".

---

A menu bar appears directly beneath the title bar of the frame when the user clicks the button in the "Component Toolbar" labeled "Menu Bar." If there is no frame in the current work area when the user pushes the button, then the Menubar button does nothing.

---

To add a menu, the user has clicked on the "Menu" button in the "Component Toolbar". An empty nameless menu appears in the first available place in the Menu Bar. If there is no menu bar in the work area, then the Menu button does nothing.

---

To add text to the nameless and empty memo, the user clicks the mouse button in either the upper or lower half of the menu and then starts typeing. The first word that is typed will become the menu name, and each additional line typed will become an individual sencitized object. At the time of creation, no actions will be assigned to these sencitized objects.

---

The user has finished making his first menu and wants to make another, so he clicks the "Menu" button again and an empty nameless menu appears in the next available spot on the menu bar.
