# caption Attribute (menu Element)

Used as the caption for a menu.

## Type

    xsf:xdTitle

## Remarks

The caption attribute is a required attribute of the menu element.

When used for a menu that is nested within a view, the caption is the top-level menu caption; when used for a menu that is nested within a toolbar, the caption is for the button on a drop-down menu; and when used for a menu that is nested inside another menu (cascading menu), the caption is the sub-menu caption.

## Example

The following is an example of the caption attribute as it is used in the menu element:

    <xsf:menuArea name="msoInsertMenu">
       <xsf:menu caption="&amp;Section">
          <xsf:button action="xCollection::insert" xmlToEdit="CD_10"
             caption="CD" showIf="always"></xsf:button>
          <xsf:button action="xCollection::insert" xmlToEdit="Track_14"
             caption="Track" showIf="always"></xsf:button>
          <xsf:button action="xOptional::insert" xmlToEdit="Label_16"
             caption="Label"></xsf:button>
       </xsf:menu>
    </xsf:menuArea>
