Featured with ClickAndBuild™ Visual Editor, you can easily build any complex menu with rich WYSIWYG experience. The hybrid menu system enables tight integration with various WebDesktop.NET’s members that requires menu functions. WebMenu does not only simulate the latest visual styles which are configurable through property settings, but it also imitates every single details of a Desktop’s Menu, from every keystroke, mouse events to advanced behaviours. Few of the features from WebMenu are listed below.

The behaviors including Menu is not limited by browser size (special feature for IE), unlimited sub menu with intelligent positioning, automatic scrolling when height dimension is not sufficient for contained items, sticky behavior, supports mnemonic keys and more.
- MenuWindowType - In previous version, components that used WebMenu Engine will have its window displayed in a special “popup” type when running in Internet Explorer browser. The main advantage of the “popup” window type is its ability to display its content out of the browser’s window boundary. However, Internet Explorer 7.0 has removed this function from “popup” object and introduced limited positioning by design. To overcome this limitation and to introduce other possible new features, the MenuWindowType is now added WebMenu 2.0 Component.
- Desktop Manager Integration -WebMenu and WebContextMenu system can be used in both stand alone and integration mode. In stand alone mode, you can specify each style for each menu appearance. Thanks to the hybrid menu system! It enables tight integration with desktop manager which allows developers to specify the menu styles at desktop manager level.

The menu editor is tightly integrated into Visual Studio 2005 IDE featuring innovative functions such as replace tree view interface with WinForm-like MenuEditor which exposes greater WYSIWYG design-time experience, Click and Type metaphor, complete keyboard and mouse navigations and behaviors.

BackgroundStrip menu appearance is firstly introduced in Office XP application and later enhanced in Outlook 2003 where gradient colors can be applied to make the icons looks nicer. In WebMenu, you can also configure its gradient and colors in the property configuration and hence allow you to create any kind of menu themes with futuristic look, whether you wanted a blue gradient theme similar to Office 2003, or a gray gradient theme similar to Visual Studio 2005 -- all without requiring any image.
