xcall AUI, AUI_MENU, opcode, mdfspec, mstate, mstatus {,dlgid}

The AUI_MENU class deals with the A-Shell menu bar, offering methods for adding and deleting menu items. The first form of the syntax above (AUI_Menu Traditional Method) is the original method, which is still the most flexible, but most difficult to use. The second form (AUI_Menu Simplified Method) vastly reduces the amount of code you need to write.

Note:

•   When the GUI trace is active, AUI_MENU operations are traced.

•   This operation can only take place on a GUI-enabled client, either ATE or some form of A-Shell/Windows.

Samples

Several sample programs illustrating menu operations may be found in the EXLIB:[908,35].

History

2009 November, 5.1.1166:  A-Shell permits an unlimited number of menu items; the menu table expands automatically as need.
