Hi,

it's

        ActionEntry[] entries = new ActionEntry[3];
        entries = {
                ActionEntry() { name = "menuFile", label = "_File" },
                ActionEntry() { name = "menuEdit", label = "_Edit" },
                ActionEntry() { name = "menuInsert", label = "_Insert" }
        };

or

        ActionEntry[] entries = {
                ActionEntry() { name = "menuFile", label = "_File" },
                ActionEntry() { name = "menuEdit", label = "_Edit" },
                ActionEntry() { name = "menuInsert", label = "_Insert" }
        };

or, if it's a constant array (currently not allowed in method scope):

        const ActionEntry[] entries3 = {
                { "menuFile", "_File" },
                { "menuEdit", "_Edit" },
                { "menuInsert", "_Insert" }
        };


Best regards,

Frederik
