If your application uses an <object-type> menu or a Selected menu, it contains the following choices, with the specified functionality, when the actions are actually supported by your application. Items should be presented to the user in the order listed below. 

The <object-type> menu contains controls that allow the user to create instances of the object-type. Both the <object-type> and Selected menus allow the user to manipulate object instances. Additional items should be added to the <object-type> or Selected menus if they relate solely to the manipulation of objects managed by the application (as opposed to more generic services that the application might provide).

Any of the preceding three menu choices should be provided only if the objects managed by your application are able to reside as separate entities outside of your application's main window. For example, a printer object created by a printer management application might be able to be placed in a Folder window and function as an application unto itself. Your application should also support drag and drop as a method for performing any of these actions.
