Hey Everyone,
So I've got a question on how to create and customize the top file menu on a dialog? I'm actually at a loss on where to start? Do you make changes to the GeDialog inherited class or do I make modifications in the .res file?

Anyone know which direction I should go in?
Thanks plugin cafe community!

In your CreateLayout() function, do something likethis (from my sIBL Loader plugin) :

  
          MenuFlushAll();   
          MenuSubBegin("File");   
          MenuAddString(6012, "Apply preset");   
          MenuAddString(6013, "Clear sIBL preset from scene");   
          MenuAddSeparator();   
          MenuAddString(6003, "Add new collection...");   
          MenuAddString(6004, "Remove current collection...");   
          MenuAddString(6005, "Reload collection");   
          MenuAddString(6006, "Reload preset");   
          MenuAddSeparator();   
          MenuAddString(6007, "Save preferences");   
          MenuAddString(6010, "Close Manager");   
          MenuSubEnd();   
          MenuSubBegin("Help");   
          MenuAddString(6020, "Show help file (PDF)");   
          MenuAddString(6030, "About...");   
          MenuSubEnd();   
          MenuFinished();

There's an example in the SDK called AsyncTest that has some working menu code in it.
That's where I learned how to do it in C++.
