Menu property clauses

At least one item must be defined for a menu.

menuitem item_id	Item on the menu.
style = flags	Style flags.

Menu item property clauses

The remaining clauses are attached to each item, rather than to a menu as a whole. The clauses are applicable both to main menu items and to subitems, with some small differences. Unless such a distinction is made, the term ‘item’ in the clause descriptions should be taken to include both items and subitems.

A menu item must have a label, and should have either subitems or a select = function. Other clauses are optional.

menuitem = item_id	Define a subitem.
label = “text”	Text for item label
style = flags	Style flags.
caption = “text” caption_pen = integer	Text for help caption. Pen for display of help caption. See Menu item caption.
menuline	Horizontal line, creating a logical division between submenu items.
accelerator = key_id	Accelerator key.
select = func_id help = func_id	Select function. Help function. See Menu item events and functions.

Run time only
[[window_id.]menu_id.]item_id->check = ON | OFF	Check or uncheck an item.

Run time read-only
[[window_id.]menu_id.]item_id->selected = TRUE | FALSE	Whether currently selected.
[[window_id.]menu_id.]item_id->state &	Current state.
