About the menus.xml file 147

Example

The main (Document window) menu bar uses the following menubar tag:

</menubar>

<menu>

Description

Provides information about a menu or submenu to appear in the Dreamweaver menu structure.

Attributes

name, {app}, id, {platform}, {showIf}

• name The name of the menu as it will appear on the menu bar. To set the menu’s access key

(mnemonic) in Windows, use an underscore (_) before the access letter. The underscore is

automatically removed on the Macintosh.

• app The name of the application in which the menu is available. Not currently used.

• id The menu ID for the menu. Every ID in the file should be unique.

• platform Indicates that the menu should appear only on the given platform. Valid values

are

"win" and "mac".

• showIf Specifies that the menu should appear only if the given Dreamweaver enabler is the

value

true. The possible enablers are: _SERVERMODEL_ASP, _SERVERMODEL_ASPNET,

_SERVERMODEL_JSP, _SERVERMODEL_CFML

(for all versions of ColdFusion),

_SERVERMODEL_CFML_UD4 (for UltraDev version 4 of ColdFusion), _SERVERMODEL_PHP,

_FILE_TEMPLATE, _VIEW_CODE, _VIEW_DESIGN, _VIEW_LAYOUT,

_VIEW_EXPANDED_TABLES,

and _VIEW_STANDARD. You can specify multiple enablers by

placing a comma (which means AND) between the enablers. You can specify NOT with

"!".

For example, if you want the menu to appear only in Code view for an ASP page, specify the

attribute as

showIf="_VIEW_CODE, _SERVERMODEL_ASP".
