Use FileMaker to develop a database solution just as you are used
to. Design layouts as well as fields and scripts using ScriptMaker™. |

While FileMaker is still running open the MenuComposer application
that is part of the MenuControl Download Package. Click the Add
Menu Bar button to create a new main menu item that will contain
all the items of the menu that you are about to compose.
|

|
Add parent and sub menu items to your new menu by clicking the Add
Menu button. The Menu Tree tab which you find in the
main part of the Composer window represents the structure of your
menu.

Click Add Script to add menu items that will trigger FileMaker
scripts of your database solution. You can assign customized keyboard
short cuts to each menu item that will work on Mac and on Windows.

Switch to the Menu Soruce tab and check out the MenuCode
the Composer wrote for you. Since this code has an easy-to-understand
structure you might also consider to create in manually after some
sessions. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
When your menu looks the way you like it click the Copy Code
button in the Composer window and paste the menu code into you FileMaker
solution (hidden global text field). After you have passed the code
to the plug-in by not using more than a single external function your
menu will be shown on top of the FileMaker window (Windows) / in the
menu bar on top of the desktop (Mac). |
