Altova XMLSpy 2025 Enterprise Edition

The code listing below shows how menu items can be created. Each XMLSpyCommand object gets a corresponding MenuItem object, with the ActionCommand set to the ID of the command. The actions generated by all menu items are handled by the same function, which can perform specific handlings (like reinterpreting the closing mechanism) or can delegate the execution to the XMLSpyControl object by calling its exec method. The menuMap object that is filled during menu creation is used later (see section UI Update Event Handling).
