GlsMenu Library

The GL Studio Menu Library is a powerful class library for GL Studio that enables the rapid development and prototyping of multi-function display (MFD) menu hierarchy and navigation. The Menu Library is used with a GL Studio design to create the complex menu structure of today MFD's. The menu structure of the device is read from external text-based script files. The Menu Library drives information such as label syntax, color, and the actions that occur upon selection. Since the structure is driven externally from the application, page changing logic can be updated without recompiling the main application.

Examples where this class can be used include:

  • Aircraft MFD
  • Aircraft CDU
  • Printer LCD
  • Comm gear displays
  • Automotive entertainment systems
