Progress Dynamics Getting Started

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.

To create a main menu window:

Choose Build Container Builder from the AppBuilder main window.
Choose New in the Container Builder.
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.
Choose Create.
Set the following values in the Container Builder:

Field	Value
Container	oeMenuWin
Type	DynMenc / Dynamic Menu Controller
Description	Order entry menu window
Product module	ds-OE / Order Entry module
Window name	DynSports Order Entry

The Container Builder should look like this:



Choose Save, then exit the Container Builder.

You cannot run this window yet. You must define the menu items that launch your maintenance windows first.
