Menus

Menus serve to navigate within the portal. Menus can be connected within one another. A subordinate menu reacts here to a selection made in the superior menu. In Intrexx, three kinds of menus are available for use.

Tree Menu

Properties A tree menu can show any number of level. Where the level of display begins depends on how the menu is linked to additional menus. The individual branches can be shown or hidden.

A tree menu has the same properties as a container. In addition, in the properties dialog, after setting the background, borders, and offsets, you can influence the appearance of the menu items. A tree menu has a total area on which the menu items will be displayed. For this area, you can set the background on the properties page for Menu background.

Next, you can set the background for the individual menu items on the property page Menu – Menu items.
