The pop-up menu available in Frame features offers the developer many attractive features that go far beyond those available in standard development tools:
- The menu area is combined with that of its parent control like in Office XP
- An impressive set of menu animations (none, random, rollup, slide, fade, roll and stretch, noise, boxes, circles, and holes)
- Compound shadow support
- Built-in support for the command update mechanism of MFC
- Windows 2000-like non-rectangular tooltips
- Support for frequently/rarely used commands
- Expand animation when displaying rarely used commands
Any menu may have an unspecified number of submenus that enables the developer (at design time or programmatically) or the user (at runtime) to efficiently arrange commands available in the application.
