The Prof-UIS pop-up menu provides many additional features that go far beyond those available in the standard MFC menu:
- The menu area is combined with that of its parent control like in Office XP/2003
- Impressive set of menu animations:
- none
- random
- rollup
- slide
- fade
- roll and stretch
- noise
- boxes
- circles
- holes
- Dynamic semi-transparent shadow, which makes any dynamic underlying contents visible (see Figure 2)
- Built-in support for the command update mechanism of MFC
- Custom drawn left side and custom drawn menu items
- Balloon tooltips
- Support for frequently/rarely used commands
- Expand animation when displaying rarely used commands
The menu can be easily extended, which allows you to create custom menus and include any extended submenus (e.g. a color selection menu).
