Specify Menu Item Characteristics

Only windows, and not dialogs, can have menu items. The characteristics affect the appearance and the action that results when the user selects the menu item.

You specify the characteristics on pop-ups. The pop-ups vary depending on where in the menu structure hierarchy the menu item appears. Other characteristics of menu items, such as colors, disabled-by conditions, events, and help descriptions are also accessed from the pop-ups. You can access the pop-ups only from the Menu Design pop-up.
