Delphi Menu Template Format | Embarcadero Technologies | Settings Files |
The DMT file extension is a Delphi Menu Template file used by Embarcadero's RAD Studio and other development tools by Embarcadero Technologies. This type of file are saved in the design time environment and used for development of menu templates for Delphi applications.
The DMT files contain a description and selection of controls, commands or other objects which can be used for the menus and toolbars. Menus and toolbar templates created with these files can be reused multiple times throughout the development process. The file contains only the template definition and not the actual code. They consist of file metadata, toolbars and menu details such as: position information, caption, icon, index number, accelerator, state information, help message, keyboard shortcuts and control related parameters.
Usage
A DMT file is generally created by developers within RAD Studio with the Menu Designer that comes with it. The programmer can use them to create platform independent menu items. To use a DMT file, the programmer needs to locate the source form file containing the menu definitions and call it at execution time for further processing. Other similar type of files relevant for Delphi development are: .DFm, .DCU, .DPR, .DPK, .PAS, and .DOF.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DMT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DMT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DMT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DMT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DMT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DMT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DMT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DMT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DMT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DMT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
