Hi All,

I know it's possible for AX2012 to create a menu item by draging a form from Form Node to Menu Item Display Node. It's a easy way to create a menu item.

Step:

In the AOT, click Menu Items.
To create a display menu item, drag a form from the Forms node to the Display node.

My question is that how to do these dragging way in Dynamics 365 FO(in Visual Studio). Is it possible to create a menu item by draging a form from form node to menu item display node? Or is there any other way to create a menu item simply?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jacky,

Drag and drop a form to a menu item is not possible anymore in Visual Studio. You would need to create a menu item and then fill the properties with correct values. It is a bit more work, but still quite simple.

Hi Jacky,

I think you can consider Developer tools add-ins.

I have never used this. But you can give it a try.
