Menu Introduction

Introduction

This Library support several types of menus. Each menu type supports loading and saving menu data to and from JSON. Some menus can persist data into LibreOffice and some are only temporary.

Depending on you needs working with the menus can be very simple or rather complex.

App Menu

App menus are generally used when there is a need to persist the menu into LibreOffice. Although there are times that using App Menu with Popup menu will make sense.

App Menus are used to add, remove, and modify menus in the LibreOffice on both a Global and Document level.
