Creating Menu Separators

If you take a look at Figure 9.1, you'll see a horizontal line in the File menu above the Exit item. That line is a menu separator, and you can use them to separate the items in a menu into functional groupings.

To create a menu separator, as in the Menus example on the CD-ROM, you can assign a single hyphen (-) to a menu item's Text property (just type a hyphen in the "Type Here" box when you're creating the menu item). That's all it takes—Visual Basic will make the menu item into a menu separator for you automatically.
