# Accessing Library Objects from IDE

Accessing Menu Bar Definition from IDE |

The Menu Bar Definition task on the IDE Main Launcher is used to invoke the Menu Bar Definition window for creating or editing a menu.

To select this task, expand the Graphical Application Builder (NOMADS) category on the Menu list. This task opens the New/Existing Menu window, which is used to specify a library and the name of a new or existing menu.

(The Menu Bar Definition task was added in PxPlus 2023 Update 1.)

This window consists of the following:

Library | Defaults to the Default Library defined for the current project. If a default library was not defined, this will be blank. Enter the name of the library file or click the Query button.
Name | Enter the name of the menu or click the drop-down arrow to select from a list of the existing menus in the library. If the menu name does not exist, you will be able to create the new menu when you click Ok. #### Note: When entering a new menu name, valid characters are: letters (A-Z, a-z); numbers (0-9); ~ (tilde); @ (at symbol); . (period); $ (dollar sign); _ (underscore); - (dash); + (plus sign). If an invalid character is used, a message will display.
Ok | Launches Menu Bar Definition.
Cancel | Closes the New/Existing Menu window with no further action taken.
