> ## Creating a main menu window for your application

> In this section, you pull the pieces together into something that looks like a real application. The starting template for the main menu window includes some standard menus. In the next section, you will create a custom menu that launches your application windows.

> 1. Choose Build Container Builder from the AppBuilder main window.

> 2. Choose New in the Container Builder.

> 3. Type rywinMenuCont for the Container in the Create from existing container area and press the TAB key. This is the framework’s default template for a menu controller window. You can build and use a different template customized for your applications.

> Note: A Dynamic Menu Controller is a window with just a MenuBar and Toolbar. It is intended to be the main entry point of an application.

> 4. Choose Create.

> 5. Set the following values in the Container Builder:

> Field | Value
> --- | ---
> Container | oeMenuWin
> Type | DynMenc / Dynamic Menu Controller

> Product module | ds-OE / Order Entry module
> Window name | DynSports Order Entry

> The Container Builder should look like this:

> 6. Choose Save, then exit the Container Builder.
