Comments:

• In line 12, the menu is inserted into the form declared in the module MM. module.
• The other source code does not contain any special features. The program actions are mainly coded, which are triggered when a certain menu is clicked or the assigned key combination.
• The procedures contain - except for ImageOpen () - only references to the program action.

In the download area you will find 3 projects with the same goal. For the first project, the file Form. class contains the complete source code. A module is used in the second project and the third project works with functions within a module. This makes the source code shorter, but also more complicated in the syntax when declaring individual menus.
