menu items

How can I prevent my QuickWin main menus from being wrapped with more than 20 menu items defined? Are there any parameters to control the number of items put in one column of a menu? Would be very pleased for an answer.

Didn't get you whether you refer to main menu (horizontal) or submenus (vertical). In any case, I don't know the answer, but my first advice would be to consider redesign - where did you see an application with that large menus? You might group some less-used options into dialogs invoked from menus, or use sub-submenus (which requires a little tweaking -- see here).

Thank you very much, Mr. Dujic, for your reply. I appreciate your recommandation and consider to redisign the application in order to create less menu items in main menu in vertical direction.
