Description

The ACTIVATE MENU command activates and displays an Xbase style menu. The menu name <expC1> must have been previously defined. The command SET COMPATIBLE must be set ON when using Xbase style menus.

NOCLEAR

The NOCLEAR keyword prevents the popup display being cleared after the menu is exited.

NOWAIT

The NOWAIT clause will not wait for user input after the ACTIVATE POPUP command is issued. The popup is displayed and activated, but program execution continues immediately.

PAD <expC2>

The optional PAD keyword will position the highlight bar on the pad name <expC2> when the menu is displayed. The pad name must have been previously defined. If no pad name is used, then the highlight is positioned on the first defined pad.


Example

activate menu sort_men
