Making a task menu a drop down menu?

Hi Bill,

please read and follow the communities best practices! It's not clear what product do you use, what version and also what do you want to achieve. Drop down menu where?

With regards,

I'm assuming this is for connect addition. I would like to know how to do the same. I had a drop-down menus in my V8i main menu that I can not migrate over.

Bill as a quick response:

For v8i,

1. Determine which dgnlib you wish to put this new "drop down menu" into.
2. Make sure the you have the dgnlib in your configuration that contains the Tasks you wish to bring over to a drop down menu format.
3. Open the dgnlib that you wish to contain this "drop down menu"
4. Activate the Custom Dialog box (Key-In "customize dialog")
5. In the right column of the Custom Dialog box, open the MenuBar section
   1. Create a "new" menu and name it whatever you want (this will be displayed along the menubar along with... File, Help, etc.) 
6. In the left column of the Custom Dialog box, find the the dgnlib that contains the Tasks you wished transferred.
   1. Copy these commands from that dgnlib over to the Menubar column on the right.

Note: When you copy the individual commands from one column to the other use the copy and paste tools displayed at the top of each of these columns

As for CONNECT

I'm not aware of "drop down menus' being utilized in the interface but you can use the same Key-in to access the Customization dialog box.

Peace, 

Kirk, 

Do you mean to convert a V8i drop down menu to the ribbon... instead?
