Creating and Attaching the Panels Pop-up Menu
Create and attach the pop-up menu for the Panels menu item like you did for the File menu item. The pop-up menu will have three items, each item being the name of one of the windows. Enter these names in the Label field of the IlvPopupMenu inspector:
Employee Employee Manager Dept Maximum Salary In the Callback field of the IlvPopupMenu inspector, enter the @ShowPanel callback for each menu item, using these panel names:
(Employee) (Empmgr) (Dpmaxsal) Example: @ShowPanel(Employee)
When the pop-up menu is finished, it should look like this:
You can test that the pop-up menus appear by clicking the Active button and then selecting the menu bar items. To test the pop-up menu items themselves, you need to test the application (because of the use of certain predefined callbacks). See the section
Testing the Application.
