NAME
Pull-Down Menu (Menu Type) — Reference
Description
A pull-down menu is a menu displayed from a cascading choice
in a menu bar or a menu cascade button.
When to Use
- Recommended
Provide a pull-down menu for each choice on a menu
bar, for the window menu button, and for each menu cascade button
in your application.
Guidelines
- Recommended
If you provide choices that do not logically fit
within any of the predefined pull-down menus, provide your own application-specific
menu-bar choices that lead to menus in which you can include those
choices.
- Recommended
Provide a unique shortcut key assignment for each
frequently used application-specific choice in a pull-down menu
or a menu cascaded from one.
- Optional
You can augment action choices in pull-down menus
(or menus cascaded from them) that refer to the current selection
in a selection scope with the word "All" to apply
the action to all selectable elements in the scope.
