'''CBM''' ("Command Bar Menu") is a library for part of [[FutureOS|FutureOS]]. It is not completely part of the core ROMs, because it needs a high degree of flexibility to serve very different applications. CBM provides an consistent user-interface for all own programsapplications. You can use hierarchical pull-down menues to select files or functions. The interaction by the [[FutureOS|FutureOS]] desktop is done by a function which calls it by using the OK icon. Since version 1.8 hot keys have been added.

The flexible part of CBM is provided as well documented Z80 source code that can be used to create new programs applications for [[FutureOS|FutureOS]]. The documented other part of CBM is integrated in the core ROMs of FutureOS. The source code and some examples can be downloaded from the official FutureOS-Homepage. Therefore it's possible to adapt / use CBM for any of your self written FutureOS programsapplications.

When using CBM for programsprovides several build in standard functions like load file, then these programs can have nearly the same appearance. This makes it easy to work with different programssave file, because the generic appearence is the same change colors, show help and the basic functions are located at the same positionsso on.

If CBM is used for different applications, then all these apps will have nearly the same appearance. This makes it easy to work with different apps, because the generic appearence is always the same and the basic functions are located at the same positions.  Examples for programs using CBM are the [[FuturePlayer|MP3-Player]], the Sprite Converter [[GMSK|GMSK]], the map and playground editor [[GSED|GSEd]], the sprite manager [[Kane|Kane]] , the [[SYMBiFACE II]] [[ROManager]], the [[MegaFlash]] [[MegaFlashROManager]] and some other applications for [[FutureOS|FutureOS]].   == Ports =='''CBM''' was ported to the native CPC-OS for applications like [[MegaFlashROManager]] and the [[SYMBiFACE II]] [[ROManager]].
