Description

The ON MENU command is used to specify commands which will execute when menu pads that do not have an ON PAD command associated with them are highlighted. A pad is a menu option in an Xbase style menu. These types of menus are created with the DEFINE MENU and DEFINE PAD commands. The menu is identified by the name <menu name> that was assigned with the DEFINE MENU command. The command SET COMPATIBLE should be ON when using Xbase style menus.

The specified command, <command>, may be any Recital/4GL command. To specify a command that will execute when an individual pad is selected, see the ON SELECTION PAD command. To specify a command to execute when an individual pad is highlighted, use the ON PAD command. Used without a specified command, the ON MENU command disables previously specified commands. Commands specified by an ON PAD command override commands specified by the ON MENU command.


Example

define menu main
define pad exit of  main;
  prompt "<Exit" at 0,0
define pad filelist of main;
  prompt "<Files" at 0,6
 
on menu main dialog box "On Menu"
on exit menu main dialog box "On Exit Menu"
activate menu main
