New options have been added to the <Type> property on AllWebMenus version 5.1.740!

"Horizontal" groups (like the Main Menu group) could always behave as "Menubars" (fitting the entire window width). These menubars can now use additional options, like specified margins from the window sides, etc.

Here are all the Options you can use on the <Type> property:


Option 1: Horizontal Menu

More Options on Horizontal Menus:

"Do you want your group to use multiple rows?"

By selecting "Yes, use X rows", your group will use X rows to display the items.

Example with 2 rows:


"Should the menu function as a Menubar?"

By clicking "Yes, Widen group to fit entire window width", the group acts like a typical Windows-application menu: horizontal, covering all the width of the window even when the user resizes it.

You can also add Margin in any of the sides of the menu (Right, Left, or both) counted in pixels or in percentage of the page:



"Do you want the items to widen to fit their group's width?"
(enabled when the "Menubar" functionality is selected)

By selecting "Yes, widen items so that they fit the entire group" the items of the menu will widen in order to cover the whole size of the menu.

By selecting "Do not widen items" the items will keep their default size and the background color of the menu will cover all the width of the window.

Option 2: Vertical Menu

More Options on Vertical Menus:

"Do you want your group to use multiple columns?"

By selecting "Yes, use X columns", your group will use X columns to display the items.

Example with 2 columns:


"Allow Vertical Scrollbar?"

By selecting "No Scrollbar" the group will widen to fit all items.

By selecting "Auto: when group height exceeds browser window height", a scrollbar will be added in the menu when its size exceeds the browser window height in order for the viewer to be able to view all the items.

By selecting "Fixed", a scrollbar will be added when the group size exceeds the pixels you have set in the related box:

The Uniform Items option

This option allows you to choose whether the size of all items match the size of the biggest item within the same group. The calculation of the largest size includes the size of the Header or Footer too (if they exist).


Example:

1st menu: The <Uniform Items> property is set to "no"

2nd menu: The <Uniform Items> property is set to "yes"
