The Command Bar Menu ('''CBM''') is a part of [[FutureOS|FutureOS]]. It provides an user-interface for all own programs. You can use hierarchical pull-down menues to select files or functions. Windows aren't used, because windows curtail the usable screen area. The interaction by the [[FutureOS|FutureOS]] desktop is done by a function which calls it by using the OK icon.

The well documented source code is available in can be downloaded from the netofficial FutureOS-Homepage. Therefore it's possible to adapt / use CBM for any of your self written FutureOS programs.
