Properties
Description
Each type of node in the Menu Builder has a specific set of properties. You can change these properties in the Properties dialog box.
To open the Properties dialog box:
Open the Menu Builder.
In the tree, select the node for which you want to open the Properties dialog box
From the Edit menu, select
Properties
or
Double-click on the node in the Menu Tree.
The total set of properties for the nodes in the Menu Builder is divided into the following categories, each having its own tab in the Properties dialog box.
Remark
Properties for nodes (or duplicates of nodes) from a default menubar or toolbar are read-only and cannot be changed. This is indicated in the Menu Tree by ‘grayed-out’ nodes.
Category
Every node in the Menu Tree has different properties. The node property-incidence matrix, shown below, describes the possible properties of the different nodes.
