Group Size
By default, DHTML Menu Builder evaluates the contents of the
group and determines the optimal width and height of the group so that the contents fit.
However you can manually adjust these settings using the
controls in this dialog:
- Auto: The width and height are calculated automatically.
- Background Image: The width or
height of the item will be set to the size of the background
image.
- Manual: The width or height can be set to specific values. Note that
defining a value that is too small will cause unpredictable
results and will cause the contents of the group to display incorrectly.
Click Calculate to let DHTML Menu Builder
determine the recommended size of the selected item.
Scrolling Menus
When specifying a manual height that is smaller than the
recommended height, you will be able to activate the
scrolling
feature.
Live Preview
Allows you to see how the selected item will appear in your browser.
The Live Preview is updated at the same time you make changes to your items. That way, you always know how your menus will appear without having to go through the process of compiling your project or even previewing.
When a group is selected, the Live Preview shows how the background of the menu will appear. If the
toolbar option is selected, the preview will show how the actual toolbar hotspot will appear.
When a command is selected, the Live Preview shows how the selected command will appear against its parent group.
The Scope Selector
This advanced control will let you select which item or items
should receive the styles on the dialog.
By default, only the selected item will receive the style
changes, however you can choose from a variety of options to apply
the same style changes to a set of menu items all at once.
