chosen. MenuObject.pjx contains a form (MenuObject.scx), a MenuClass class

  pad.

  menu items in Test3 -> SubTest3-2 -> SubTest3-2-2.

7. Select Disable menu item Sub-Test3-2-2 to disable menu item Sub-Test3-2-2.

8. Select Change Caption Test3 to WhoIsThis to check the Test3 menu pad text to
  WhoIsThis.
