Hi Dunk,

I think you need to manually add this to the "umbracoApp" table:

The fields in the table are:

sortOrder
appAlias
appIcon
appName
appInitWithTreeAlias

The icons are then defined in the umbracoGui.css file:

/* tray sprites */
.traycontent{background-position: -18px -18px;}
.traymedia{   background-position: -18px -90px;}
.trayusers{ background-position: -18px -162px;}
.traysettings{ background-position: -18px -234px;}
.traydeveloper{ background-position: -18px -306px;}
.traymember{background-position: -18px -378px;}
.traystats{background-position: -18px -450px;}
.traytranslation{background-position: -18px -522px;}
/* end tray sprites */

Cheers,

Chris

Do you mean a normal umbraco menu?

I've managed to to that. I did a demo about this on the Benelux Meetup here's my code.

ASCX File:

<%
@ Register Assembly="controls" Namespace="umbraco.uicontrols" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
<
 
cc1:Pane ID="FirstNamePane" runat="server">
 
<cc1:PropertyPanel ID="FirstNamePanel" runat="server" Text="Firstname" >
 
<asp:TextBox ID="FirstNameTextBox" runat="server" CssClass="umbEditorTextField"/>
 
</cc1:PropertyPanel>
</
 
cc1:Pane>
<
 
cc1:Pane ID="Pane2" runat="server">
 
<cc1:PropertyPanel ID="LastNamePanel" runat="server" Text="Lastname" >
 
<asp:TextBox ID="LastNameTextBox" runat="server" CssClass="umbEditorTextField"/>
 
</cc1:PropertyPanel>
</
 
cc1:Pane>

Code Behind

namespace
 
 EditorDemo
{
 
public partial class EditorControls : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
 
MenuImageButton _buttonSave;
 
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 
//If you want to add a menu to a dashboard control you have to cast the parent to TabPage
 
if (Parent is TabPage)
{
 
TabPage tabPage = Parent as TabPage;
_buttonSave = tabPage.Menu.NewImageButton();
_buttonSave.Click += 
new ImageClickEventHandler(_buttonSave_Click);
_buttonSave.AlternateText = 
"Save";
_buttonSave.ImageUrl = 
GlobalSettings.Path + "/images/editor/save.gif";
tabPage.HasMenu = 
true;
}
}
 
/// <summary>
 
/// Save
 
/// </summary>
 
void _buttonSave_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
 
//Test if the Base class is BasePage
 
if (Page is BasePage)
{
 
//Okay we are in Umbraco 
 
string message = string.Format("{0} {1} saved", FirstNameTextBox.Text, LastNameTextBox.Text);
 
//Use the SpeechBubble method on page to show the message
((
BasePage)Page).speechBubble(BasePage.speechBubbleIcon.success, "Message to the user", message);
}
}
}
}

The trick is to cats the Parent as a Tabpage. The Tabpage holds a reference to the menu, so you can use that to add MenuImageButtons(in this case a button save) And you can add event handlers to that button_save action. That is done in the _buttonSave_Click handler which shows you the speechbubble message, but you can also use this as a hook to provide your own save mechanism.

Hope this helps you,

Richard 

Ah opps!

Just realised I miss read your original question!

Appologies for my miss-leading answer, hopefully it was still helpful for someone :)
