Append to Menubar
Overview
The append to menubar functionality gives you the ability to add your
own customized application to the NX main menu bar. NX
menu bar access allows your application to have its own unique menubar
option with a corresponding pulldown menu.
However, using UF_UI_append_menubar_menu restricts you to a single use
of this function and a single Open C API shared library loaded via the
USER_STARTUP environment variable. If you wish to use more than one application
integrated using this technique, you need to exit and restart NX
in order to change applications. Open C MenuScript provides the ability
to add multiple custom applications directly onto the Application menu.
When registered these applications will behave like standard NX
applications.
For example:
- the application name will appear on the main window
banner while you are in the application
- application-specific custom menus or menu items can be
added. These items will automatically be removed and replaced when you
exit and re-enter the application, respectively.
NOTE: When using MenuScript to integrate applications, the use
of the Custom Dialog Management functions described in this chapter to
maintain the interoperability of custom dialogs with the standard NX
dialogs is still required.
