Drop down list of Structured Text programs

[Fable]

I'm trying to recreate this program drop down list that has structure text programs in it, but I can't figure out how to add ST programs. I'm only getting an option to add a Section of ladder. Sysmac Studio

You need to add a new program.  A program of ladder can only contain sections of ladder.  A separate program can contain ST code.  Right click on the programs folder and add a new program.

If you only want a small section of ST, you could right click a line in ladder and choose 'Insert Inline ST'. Otherwise, you'll need to do as Crossbow suggests.

I prefer to program in ladder but I like to use ST for large array calculations and FOR / END_FOR loops.

I have added two ST programs, how do I put them under one drop down. I'm trying to get to this type of setup. (Programming in only ST)

I don't think you can do that for ST programs. Ladder programs allow you to RMB and "Add Section", but ST programs don't appear to have this option.

 

Alternatively, use Ladder programs and use inline ST in the ladder. Then you could add sections accordingly, similar to your screenshot. Although I will admit it is probably a bit more "clunky" as the windows don't auto-resize etc.
