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.
Additional Information About Adding Items to a Pop-Up Menu
You can use the buttons on the Items notebook page of the IlvPopupMenu inspector to insert or remove items from a pop-up menu gadget. Note that your changes will not take effect in the pop-up menu gadget in the Main window until you press the Apply button.

the pop-up menu list each time you press the Insert button.
Items are created in the list before a selected item, or at

you can select an item and click the Remove button to delete it.

the selected item in your list.

between pop-up menu items.

the tree gadget is the only one that remains after you press
the Clean button.
