Turning menu captions on or off (sys.MenuCaption¶
sys.MenuCaption,,i1 |
Turns menu help captions on or off |
Turns the display of menu captions ON or OFF. This applies to both the drop-down menu style and the ring menu style.
A menu caption is defined as a clause (caption = “text”) attached to a menu item or subitem as shown in this example:
menuitem OptNext {
label = "Next"
caption = "Displays next record in the current search sequence"
}
It is designed to give information to the user about the effect of selecting the menu option.
If the ring menu style is being used, then the caption is enclosed in quotes using the format:
*n = "NEXT", "Displays next record in the current search sequence"
Captions are displayed on the bottom line of the window. If the bottom of the window is not visible, the lowest visible line is used. A caption occupies its entire row, temporarily obscuring anything else on that row.
If sys.MenuCaption is ON, menu captions are displayed automatically for the menu caption which has focus.
If sys.MenuCaption is OFF, then menu captions are not displayed.
The default is for sys.MenuCaption to be ON.
