Customize Menu and Toolbars

This window should be used to manage DM2003 main menu and toolbars. It allows you to add or remove toolbars on the Main Form, configure main menu and toolbars in any window and change their properties. When this window is visible, main menu and all toolbars are in design mode and may be edited by standard drag-and-drop operations. After you close it, menu items and toolbar buttons become operable again. Controls grouped into three tabs:

Toolbars Tab:

• Toolbar list - displays toolbars in the Main Form, Browser, Notes and Series Manager. Use checkmark to hide or show appropriate toolbar.
• Reset button - allows you to reset configuration of menu and standard toolbars. However, there's no default state for user-created toolbars, so that this button may be disabled.
• Add and Delete buttons - allow you to add or delete toolbars in the Main Form. You will be prompted for the toolbar name.
• Toolbar options - allow you to change how toolbar buttons will be rendered.

Actions Tab:

• Select Action list - DM2003 includes two lists of actions: default (Action Manager) and User Actions. You may add or delete action objects only in the User Actions list.
• Categories list - display available action categories. When you drag the whole category onto the main menu, a new submenu will be created.
• Actions list - display available actions (more exactly, values of Caption attribute) in the selected category. Drag and drop individual items from this list to create a single button or menu item.
• Add and Delete buttons - allow you to add or delete user actions. When you click "Add new..." button, New Action dialog box will be displayed.

Options Tab:

• Personalization menu attributes - enables menu usage statistics. If this flag checked, only frequently used menu items will be displayed. To show all items, click chevron or just wait for a several seconds.
• Other attributes - allows you to change visual styles of the menu and toolbars.

Settings made in this window are remembered in the config.bin file which can be found in the installation folder (or [%AppData%\RRR\DM2003 folder]). If menus or toolbars seem to be seriously damaged, exit DM2003 and delete this file.

In addition to the manual configuration, you may use Command Import feature to add new user interface items automatically by special applications or in the custom setups. See also DM2003 User Interface Architecture article for more details about actions and user interface elements.
