If a menu does not already exist the menu builder will show you an example tree.  Overwrite it/edit it to create your own.

 

If a menu already exists the menu builder will show you the current menu so that you can make modifications.

 

To set individual properties of a menu item, once the menu has been added to the form, use the mouse to select the appropriate menu item and its properties will be displayed in the Property Grid where you can make changes.  See MenuItem Object Properties.

 

Use the AddDialogHandler command to add event subroutines to menu items.  E.g.:

 

AddDialogHandler>Dialog1,MenuItem2,OnClick,DoOpenFile
