Menubar

• Use the Menubar pattern when access to the full command structure is necessary to complete the primary tasks of the application.

• Commands are also exposed using toolbars, context menus, a context panel or by direct manipulation of content.

• Commands in the menubar should generally be globally applicable. Consider using a context panel or a context menu for commands that are specific to the current selection.
