Creating a Menu
Note
The Resource View Window is not available in Express editions.
To create a standard menu
From the View menu, click on Resource View and then right-click on the Menu heading and choose Add Resource. Choose Menu.
Select the New Item box (the rectangle that contains "Type Here") on the menu bar.

Type a name for your new menu, for example, "File".
The text you type appears in both the Menu editor and in the Caption box in the Properties Window. You can edit the properties for your new menu in either location.
Once you have given your new menu a name on the menu bar, the new-item box shifts to the right (to allow you to add another menu), and another new-item box opens below your first menu so you can add menu commands to it.
