Access the default menu?

Post by teacherguy » Fri Dec 30, 2011 2:03 pm

Can I access the default menubar menu or is that just there until I replace it with something?

Hi.

Not exactly sure what you mean. The menubar at the top of the screen (for Mac) or a menu in a popup or combo?

In any case, all aspects of a menu are derived simply via buttons and their contents. So whatever you think of as "default" is no different than what you might author and populate later on. Write back with an example if you wish, but I think if you play around with your "default", and then change it a bit, you will see what I mean. There is no preferred state for such things, only their current configuration.

Thanks Craig, and yes I mean the meanubar at the top of the screen. When I made my standalone I noticed that there is a default menu that appears up there with the name of the app and "about" so I was just wondering if there was a way to tap into that or if it is just a placeholder more or less since I didn't implement anything.

Regards,

Brian
