Hi,
I’m trying to learn adding menu items to my application but the Xojo documentation doesn’t explicitly teach you how to build them.
I have the default menus that Xojo starts with, and I added a Page Setup menu item to my File menu where I want to make setting changes.
When I run the app, Quit has automatically relocated underneath the menu for the name of the application (I did read in the design tips how/why this is done for Windows compatibility).
My Page Setup option appears by itself on the File menu, grayed out, and is set to Auto Enabled.
How do I attach code to my Page Setup menu item?
I have a button on a screen in my app that performs this function as follows:
//Var s As String
Var pageSetup As PrinterSetup
pageSetup = New PrinterSetup
If pageSetup.ShowPageSetupDialog Then
App.s = pageSetup.Settings
End If
// save printer settings to file
Var f As FolderItem
Var bs As BinaryStream
// get a folderitem
f = New FolderItem("Whole File", FolderItem.PathModes.Native)
// create a binary file with the type of text (defined in the file types dialog)
bs = BinaryStream.Create(f, True)
// check to see if it was created
If bs <> Nil Then
//write the contents of the editField
bs.Write(App.s.ConvertEncoding(Encodings.UTF8))
// close the binaryStream
bs.Close
End If
But for proper design, I want to move this to a Page Setup menu option. If someone can point me in the right direction, thank you!!!
