How to create a menu?

There are various methods to create menus, depending on the target platform of your application:

Drop-down menu, Buttons, Action bar

Drop-down menu

Icon bar

Ribbon

Buttons

You have the ability to create menus with simple buttons.

This type of interface is well suited to a touch environment (touch screen - tablet or smartphone application). However, the created buttons will have to be bigger (with a size if greater than the standard size) because the finger will be used rather than the mouse cursor.

Benefit of this method: very easy to implement and to create. If you want to create several levels of buttons, all you have to do is distribute them in different windows or in different planes.

For more details, see The Button control.

Action Bar

An Action Bar is actually the result of the transformation of a drop-down menu. When a drop-down menu is created, it is positioned at the bottom of the mobile window.

If you request the creation of an Action Bar , the drop-down menu automatically becomes an Action Bar. The Action Bar is positioned at the upper-left corner of the mobile window. It is a kind of drop-down menu.

For more details, see Action Bar of a window.
