Hello world!
I'm going to demonstrate creating the menu
In the happy birthday program in C#.
From the toolbox I'm going to drag the menu strip to my form
And it automatically appears top, and...
We want to create a menu
that's very similar to menus in other Windows programs
that we might have used.
So our first item is going to be file.
with capital letters.
And when you type that
you see a box to the right and you see a box underneath.
So we're going to build the submenu
for file.
And the first item I have
is going to be & new.
Let's do that with capital N and...
& open
And then I want a bar across.
If you look again at this we have new, open,
And then there's these bars across
And at the bottom we have exit.
So let's go back into
And to get the bar we type a minus sign (-)
And then my next item under that
is E ampersand exit. (E&xit)
And then the next item over here we have the font.
And we have the color.
And there's our menu.
And I'm going to go over down to the property's list.
And I'm going to name this is MNU file (mnuFile).
And underneath that we have
New
And I'm going to name that MNU new (mnuNew)
And we have open.
And name that MNU open (mnuOpen)
and then we also have exit.
MNU exit (mnuExit)
And this one is in MNU font (mnuFont)
and here we have MNU color (mnuColor)
If we run thisyou can see we have all these buttons.
None of this works yet.
And that's it!
