Interacting with the MenuBar component

You can use the mouse and keyboard to interact with a MenuBar component.

Rolling over a menu activator displays an outset border highlight around the activator label.

When a MenuBar instance has focus either from clicking or tabbing, you can use the following keys to control it:

Key	Description
Down Arrow	Moves the selection down a menu row.
Up Arrow	Moves the selection up a menu row.
Right Arrow	Moves the selection to the next button.
Left Arrow	Moves the selection to the previous button.
Enter/Escape	Closes an open menu.

NOTE

If a menu is open, you can't press the Tab key to close it. You must either make a selection or close the menu by pressing Escape.
