Customizing the Tools Menu

This table lists the sections of the Customize menu option:

Menu Option	Usage
Menu Contents	Review all current tools menu customizations.
Menu Text	Enter the text to display in the menu.
Command	Enter the executable to run. You must supply a full path for any program that does not reside in system\bin32 or that is not defined in Initial Directory.
Arguments	Specify any command line arguments to pass to the executable.
Initial Directory	Specify the initial directory that should be used by the executable, if it is not system\bin32.
Include in Build	Select to display output from the program as part of the build process. Note: This option is only valid and will only appear for Release 8.11 SP1 or later. If you are running an earlier version, this option is not available, and Safety Check does not run during build. You must, instead, run Safety Check manually from the menu.
Hide Window	Select to hide command windows. The functionality remains the same.

This table lists the buttons in the Customize menu option:

Button	Usage
Add	Select to enter new programs to appear in the pull-down menu.
Remove	Select to remove the selected item from the menu.
Move Up	Select to move the selected item up in the menu.
Move Down	Select to move the selected item down in the menu.
Ellipsis	Select to open a file or directory dialog so that you can browse for a file or directory.
Question Mark	Select to display a list of substitutions you can use as part of command line arguments. In our SafetyCheck example, one of the command line arguments is: --F <source_file>. By specifying <source_file>, you are telling SafetyCheck to use as its input file the selected source file. When BusBuild starts the build process, it can determine which file is being built and substitute that name in place of the text <source_file>.
