Menu for multiple document types


  • Subject: Menu for multiple document types
  • From: David <email@hidden>

What is the convention of the application menu when an application
supports multiple document types?

Should the menu change to show the actions available to the type of
document currently open?

Can the menu show the superset of actions available to each document
type, then disable the actions (but still make them visible) which are
inappropriate for the currently open document?

I don't see any built in support in the document architecture for
changing the menu based on the currently open document type.

Thanks
