8. Adding items to the menu

  1. Add the following menu configuration element to your custom .xxe file:

    <menu label="-">
      <insert />
    </menu>

    Attribute label is required. The value - simply means that you do not want to change the original label of the menu.

  2. After the insert element, add one or more separator and/or item and/or menu elements. Example:

    <menu label="_DocBook">
      <insert />
      <separator />
      <item label="TEST #_1" icon="xxe-config:common/icons2/help.gif"
            command="alert" parameter="TEST #1" />
      <separator />
      <menu label="SUBMENU">
        <item label="TEST #_2"
              command="alert" parameter="TEST #2" />
      </menu>
    </menu>
    • The icon attribute is optional for item elements.

    • The "_" character in the label attribute is optional. It is used to specify the position of the menu mnemonic, if any.
