Moving Menu Items

During design time, you can move menu items simply by dragging and dropping. You can move menu items along the menu bar, or to a different place in the menu list, or into a different menu entirely. 

The only exception to this is hierarchical: you cannot demote a menu item from the menu bar into its own menu; nor can you move a menu item into its own submenu. However, you can move any item into a different menu, no matter what its original position is. 

While you are dragging, the cursor changes shape to indicate whether you can release the menu item at the new location. When you move a menu item, any items beneath it move as well.

To move a menu item along the menu bar:

  1. Drag the menu item along the menu bar until the arrow tip of the drag cursor points to the new location.
  2. Release the mouse button to drop the menu item at the new location.

To move a menu item into a menu list:

  1. Drag the menu item along the menu bar until the arrow tip of the drag cursor points to the new menu. This causes the menu to open, enabling you to drag the item to its new location.
  2. Drag the menu item into the list, releasing the mouse button to drop the menu item at the new location.
