Menus
In Intrexx, you'll find various menu types that allow you to display portal content in a structured way and access it easily. Menus are elements that you can access in the "Elements" section, just like any other layout element. Menus can be arranged in the layout within containers or in responsive grid columns.
If a layout already contains a menu, you'll usually find it in the upper-left corner of the "Layout" section under Container Header / Grid Header / "Menu" column. If you expand the structure up to that point, you'll see the drop-down menu there, and if it's selected, you can edit its element settings in the right-hand pane.
If you want to use a different menu, delete the existing menu in the "Layout" section using the "Delete" option in the context menu. You can then create the desired menu in the same location ("Menu Column"). To do this, simply use drag-and-drop by dragging the menu from the "Elements" section to this location in the layout structure.
Alternatively, the new menu can also be created using the "Insert Subelement / Menus" context menu in the "Layout" section under the "Menu" column.
Flat Menu
A flat menu can display only one level (arranged horizontally or vertically). The level at which the display begins depends on how it is linked to other menus, which you can configure in the element settings.
When you create a new flat menu by dragging it with the mouse from the "Elements" area into the layout structure, or when you double-click an existing flat menu, the Properties dialog box opens.

Vertical Menu
A vertical menu can be used when a space-saving layout of all menu items is desired, such as for display on mobile devices. This menu is responsive, meaning it automatically adapts to different screen sizes. The spacing between the 
start icon and the menu items can be adjusted using the "top" and "left" properties of the selector #Container_Menu_Dropline .menuopenclose.

Row Menu
In the horizontal menu, the menu items from all levels are displayed horizontally. It can be used when a space-saving display of all menu items is desired, such as for viewing on mobile devices. This menu is responsive; that is, on a small screen, only the home icon is displayed, which can be clicked to open the menu items.
You can find information about the element settings here.

Mega Menu
In the Mega Menu's element settings, you can specify the number of levels and whether to append the application menu. In principle, the structure of the mega menu is the same as that of the block menu. To that end, the following selectors have been added to the block menu:
Selector Block 1:
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level0.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level1.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level2.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level3.list
Selector Block 2:
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level0.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level1.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level2.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level3.list
Behavior is classified as follows.
Selector Block 1:
A menu level (0, 1, 2, or 3) that is open, i.e., The parent menu level was explicitly clicked.
Selector Block 2:
A menu level (0, 1, 2, or 3) in the closed state, i.e., the parent menu level has not been explicitly selected.
The selectors respond to the "ul" element on the respective level. This makes it possible to display and customize menu levels as desired, regardless of the status of the parent menu level (selected or not selected).
You can find information about the element settings here.
For more information about the features of this menu, see the description of the Vertical Menu.
Drop-down menu
A drop-down menu consists of a flat main menu that can be arranged vertically or horizontally. Submenu items are displayed in pop-outs. The dropdown menu is responsive and therefore automatically adapts to SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE screen sizes.
You can find information about the element settings here.
For more information about the features of this menu, see the description of the Vertical Menu.
Tree Menu
In the element settings of the tree menu, you can specify the number of levels and whether to include the application menu. The tree menu requires a responsive grid layout with a border on the right side. In this case, two containers should be placed side by side. The menu is placed in the left container, and the stage container is placed in the right one.
For complete information about the settings in this menu's Properties, see the description of the Vertical Menu.
Drop-down menu (Alt)
A drop-down menu consists of a flat main menu that can be arranged vertically or horizontally. Submenu items are displayed in pop-outs.
