Standard Item and Group Menus

Most branches of the Collections Tree are reference lists, and they share two menus: a group menu on the branch header, and an item menu on each entry. Branches with commands of their own are listed on their own pages; this page covers the two shared menus and says which branches use them.

Source resources: IDR_CT_DEFAULTGROUP, IDR_CT_DEFAULTITEM.

Item menu​

Right-click an entry under one of the branches above.
