writing menus for modes

writing menus for modes

[Miguel Frasson]

Hi.

I am trying to write a major mode for the program guitartex. 

I have read the good Mode Tutorial from Emacs wiki. However, there there
is nothing about how to make menus and toolbars for a mode. I have seem
easymenu on wiki also. Is there some nice documentation about toolbars and
menus?

Thanks

Miguel.

Have you read the Menu Bar and Tool Bar nodes of the Emacs Lisp manual?
(I assume that since you asked about the tool bar, you're interested in
the menu bar, not in pop up menus.)  It's pretty easy to add a new item
to the menu bar or tool bar as described there.  I would avoid easymenu:
it's mainly good for writing XEmacs-compatible code, and I found it hard
to use when I had to do that.

I didn't thought about the emasc lisp manual before. I just looked in
the internal emacs help itself :( Now I think I can do what I want more
efficiently :)

Thanks!

Miguel.
