The menu bar

(back to the table of contents)

As you can see below, many menu items can be invoked via special key strokes. Since Java relies on native GUI components, the menu bar will behave exactly as you would expect from native applications.

the main window of Tgfm and its menu bar

File

New file
Creates an empty group file. If Tgfm.pic is found, this file is used as the default icon of the newly created group
Open
Allows the user to load a group file from disc.
Save
Saves the current group file. If you have not specified a file name, the action performed is equal to the Save as-command
Save as
Saves the current group file but allows the user to specify a new file name.
Import
Allows the user to change the icon of a group file; please choose an apropriate Series 3 picture file in the file dialog box as shown below:
Importing a new icon
Export
Allows the user to save the icon of a group file to disc; please specify the file name in the file dialog box.
Quit
This will terminate Tgfm.

Items

New item
Creates a new entry in the current group file. After invoking the command a dialog box will appear; you can then enter the text of the new entry. Since group files are to be interpreted by the System application of your Series 3 you will have to follow this pattern: LOC::M:\APPS\CHESS.APP or ROM::PATIENCE.APP.
Edit items
If you invoke this command a dialog box will let you edit all entries that were selected when the command was invoked. As a result you have to select at lease one entry. This is done by simply clicking on it; doing that again will deselect it. Please note that the dialog box will have an additional Skip button if more than one entry was selected. Skip will leave the current entry as it is but will move to the next one. However Cancel will stop editing the entries.
