Creating a Popup Menu
Defining the Toolbar

2. Finds the translation for that text in the German localization file, Ausschneiden.

”Modifying the Language of eWebEditPro” on page 201 provides more details
about modifying the language of eWebEditPro’s user interface.
To learn about creating a custom command, see ”” on page 158
You can assign a popup menu to a toolbar button. You might want to do this to
provide access to many toolbar commands while limiting the toolbar to one row.
When a popup menu is assigned to a toolbar button, and a user clicks the button,
the menu appears below the button, as illustrated below.
Follow these steps to create a popup menu. In this example, the menu appears
on the toolbar with the text View As. When users click the View As button, they
see a menu with two choices, as illustrated below.
1. Within the features -> external section of the configuration data, create a
command to display the popup. Note that the command’s caption will appear
on the toolbar, indicating the menu’s purpose. (For information about the
syntax of the command element, see “command” on page 275.)
