<p>
Menus are used to present a user with a hierarchical selection of options. Pivot
supports three primary means of incorporating menus into an application:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="context-menus.html"><b>Context Menus</b></a> - generally provide
convenient "right-click" access to context-sensitive functionality.
</li>
<li>
<a href="menu-bars.html"><b>Menu Bars</b></a> - collection of menus generally
located at the top of an application window that provide access to major
application features.
</li>
<li>
<a href="menu-buttons.html"><b>Menu Buttons</b></a> - provide access to "drop-down"
menus, similar to <a href="list-buttons.html">list buttons</a>; often used in
toolbars.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Context menus are discussed first.
