<a name="reference-menu-options"></a><h3><a name="1"></a>Introduction</h3>
<p><em>TQt Designer</em> provides menu options that invoke the actions necessary to create applications. Many menu options lead to dialog boxes that provide additional options and functionality. The most commonly used menu options also have corresponding toolbar buttons. This chapter explains each menu option and its use. For menu options that invoke a dialog box or which have a corresponding toolbar button, there is a cross-reference to the detailed explanation that appears in the relevant chapter.</p>
