Example: Creating a Pulldown Menu System

We will use an example to show how to use Menu Creation widgets and their attributes to create a pulldown menu system. As desired, you can copy and run the Menu System example to use as a reference as you go through this example. Click the >> and << bars to view the steps in this example. SYSTEM MENU is used for this example. SYSTEM MENU is accessed by clicking on the small button on the upper left corner of the window and is typically used to exit the program. The SYSTEM MENU is an attribute of many widgets, but is not a widget itself. See Creating System Menus for details on SYSTEM MENU.
