Attaching Menus and Toolbars

Every window can have its own menu and toolbar. When you attach a menu or toolbar to a window, GISDK automatically displays the correct menu and toolbar whenever the window is activated.

When you build a custom application, the opening menu and toolbar (the ones that are attached to the frame window) are designated using SetDefaults(). You can also use SetDefaults() to set default menus and toolbars independently for each window type.

You can assign a single menu to more than one window, or assign menus and toolbars to windows independently. Maptitude, for example, uses a single menu for all windows, but different toolbars for each type of window.
