apPopupGen Index - 1.
Generic Settings
purpose:
On this tab (number 1) you can set some of the basic settings of the
menu you would to generate.
options:
Menu
Dimensions
Each menu
(and for that matter: each Java applet) has a predefined width and height.
This can be expressed in actual pixels (most common) or a percentage
of the width or height of the webpage displayed.
Check the "Use percentage" option to use percentages instead
of pixels.
Tip: you
can mix the use of pixels and percentages, for example if you wish to
have a full width menu, but the menu should not be higher than 20 pixels:
width=100% height="20"
ButtonType
You can
select the type of button here. These only reflect the buttons instantly
visable on a webpage, so menuitems are not affected by this !

A menu
is either horizontal (as seen in regular Windows menus - where menus
reside next to each other) or vertical (where the menu buttons reside
underneath eachother).
For example
horizontal:
and vertical:
Text
Alignment
This reflect
the alignment of text within the menu button. This does not reflect
alignment of menu-items.
Available alignments are: left, center and right.
Menu
Arrows
Menu buttons
can have arrows besides the button-text to indicate a menu below this
particular button.
This can arrow-feature can be activated by checking the "Show Arrows"
option.
Note that an arrow can be either 3D or Solid.
Sound
The apPopupMenu
supports sound for both clicking the button and when moving over a button
(called "Mouseover").
Here you can select the files to be used for this purpose. You can use
the "Browse" button to navigate to the sound file.
Don't forget to check the "Sound enabled".
Warning:
If you would like to use the preview feature of apPopupGen then keep
in mind that the applet resides in the application directory of apPopGen.
This means that the sound file should not include the absolute path,
instead copy the sound file to the application directory so the applet
knows where to find it. Not
only sound files but also images are affected by this !
