Menu bars provide a good starting point for our discussion in this part of the book. Menus provide a convenient way to group similar or related commands in one place. Most users are familiar with the menu bar concept and expect standard menus such as File, Edit, and Help to appear in their applications. Even novice computer users quickly learn that clicking a menu on the menu bar displays a dropdown list of commands. Menus became popular on Windows applications in the late 1980s, following their success on the Apple Macintosh. Prior to menus, users had to cope with a wide array of interfaces offered by desktop applications. The function keys still found at the top of computer keyboards were developed in part as a standard way to access common functions in an application, and some programs even went so far as to provide a plastic template that sat on top of these function keys to help users remember the available commands. Perhaps because of this history, many developers take the usefulness and popularity of menus for granted and do not spend sufficient time laying out a consistent, usable interface for their application. While graphical elements such as menus, toolbars, and other constructs make applications much more friendly, this is not an excuse to ignore good user design and rely on customers to become experienced to make effective use of the interface. 69

Well, if that little lecture doesn t get your creative juices flowing, then nothing will. Back in .NET-land, Visual Studio .NET provides a rather intuitive interface for the construction of menus that does away with some of the clunkiness found in earlier Windows development environments from Microsoft. No more dealing with menus in one place, the application in another place, and the menu handlers in a third place. This chapter will cover the following aspects of menu creation and handling: Defining different types of menus Creating and modifying menus and menu items Handling menu events Handling multiple menus from a single event handler Cloning (as in copying) menu items from one menu to another The examples in this chapter assume you have the code for MyPhotos version 2.4 available, as developed with Visual Studio .NET in the previous chapter. You can use this code with or without Visual Studio as a starting point for the tasks covered here. If you did not work through chapter 2, download the project from the book s web site at http://www.manning.com/eebrown. Follow the links and instructions on the page to retrieve version 2.4 of the application.

Before we add some menus to our application, we should talk about the different kinds of menu structures and the classes that support them in the .NET Framework. The traditional menu bar, sometimes called the main menu or an anchored menu, is a set of menus shown horizontally across the top of most applications. The menus in a typical menu bar display a dropdown list of commands when they are activated with the mouse or by a keyboard accelerator. Figure 3.1 shows an example of a menu bar containing a File, View, and Help menu. The View menu is exposed, and a submenu of the Image menu item is displayed as well. Another type of menu is a context menu, also called a popup menu or shortcut menu. A context menu is a menu that appears in a particular situation, or context. Typically, a context menu contains a set of commands or menus related to a specific graphical element of the application. Such menus appear throughout the Figure 3.1 A traditional menu bar provides a Windows environment at the right-click set of menus across the top of an application

Project management skills from non-software industries don t translate well to software development, and game software is pretty different from other kinds of software as well, because of all the art and audio assets involved Your best bet is to show that you ve done project management of some kind of game development, perhaps in college Don t confuse the term project manager with product manager Product manager is a marketing position
