Preview Menu Bars, Tool Bars and Popup Menus

Description

While working with the Menu Builder it is possible to preview (or test) a menubar, toolbar or popup menu without having to open a page to which it is attached.

To preview a menubar, toolbar or popup menu.

  1. Open the Menu Builder.

  2. In the tree, select the menubar, toolbar or popup menu to be previewed.
