not all Menuitems are equal

Getting Started
1

I am looking at the WindowMenu Example under Desktop:Menus
There is the MainMenuBar with Menuitems who have menuitems.
So far, so good.

There is also a WindowMenuItem (as MenuItem) outside the MainMenuBar.
How do you construct this? There seems to be no method to do so

2

Follow the code
Look in App.CreateNewWindow which adds an item to the window menu

Hi Norm
that is not the problem.

Have a look

You see that WindowMenuItem is a MenuItem, but top of the hierarchy
The only way I seem to be able to create a MenuItem is under MainMenu Bar on the second level.

My question is how do I get a MenuItem to the first level?

4

WindowMenuitem is a subclass of menuitem
move it where ever you want in the project
its NOT part of the menu bar at all

The code i mentioned creates instances of this menu item subclass & attaches them to the menu bar in App.CreateNewWindow

To add a top-level menu, click the “Add Menu” button on the Menu Editor command bar (the left-most one after the UI toggles).
