The documentation explains additional options, such as the use of different files for different user locales (languages).Ĭreate a new file named MenuBox.ini, and place it in the MyProject directory. When MenuBox.exe starts, it tries to open a configuration file named MenuBox.ini (if you rename MenuBox.exe to MyLauncher.exe it will automatically open MyLauncher.ini instead). You can also use two different icon files, one for the CD icon, and one for the MenuBox window title bar. If you don't have an icon you can omit the line referencing it. Make sure that the lines don't contain any space characters. Open the autorun.inf file with Notepad, and enter the following lines: If you are not creating an AutoRun CD you can skip this section. The data we will place in this file is read by Windows, and is ignored by other operating systems. This is done by placing a file named autorun.inf at the root of the CD. Since we are creating an AutoRun CD, we need to reference the MenuBox.exe file, so that Windows will know where to open it from. For this tutorial, we shall copy the MenuBox.exe file to the MyProject directory. You can place this file anywhere you wish, and even rename it, if so desired. MenuBox.exe is the application which your users, or your AutoRun code, will open.

We will also assume that you are creating a CD AutoRun project, and that you created a MyProject directory at the root of the CD, where you will place your files. If you don't have an icon file, simply do not use the lines referencing it. The use of this icon file is entirely optional. In this tutorial we will assume that the first page of your HTML project is named "MyProject.html", and that you have a Windows icon file named MyProject.ico. You will need two files: MenuBox.exe and menubox.js. If you installed MenuBox in the default location on an English version of Windows, you should have a set of redistributable files in "C:/Program Files/Cloanto/MenuBox/Redistributable". At the end of your modifications, if you are using the registered version of MenuBox, remember to use the Sign Project tool to insert the updated Signature key (which marks the project as registered, and protects it from changes).

In this case, the following text will show you what files you need to edit, and some types of changes you can make. However, you can also use the MenuBox Wizard to create a project skeleton, and then manually edit the resulting output. In this case, you don't need to read this document. You can use the MenuBox Wizard application to create HTML (browser container) projects without ever having to edit the resulting HTML or INI files. This tutorial is similar to the "Example 1" set of files which is distributed with MenuBox. This tutorial will guide you through the configuration of the MenuBox settings, including special tips to take advantage of MenuBox features from within your HTML code.
