Hints and Tips for Using Menu Types
In general:
•
It is not necessary to specify the menu usage type on a form that has only main menus (and this includes most Main forms).
•
It is always necessary to specify the usage-type for menus that are part of the POPUP menu system.
For forms that contain a mixture of main and popup menus:
•
First define the bar before defining the menus.
•
Next define the menus of the main system.
•
Next define menus of the popup system, declaring them all as type POPUP.
•
If the user is dynamically creating new menus with the NewMenu() form methods, then always specify the menu type. This will maximise the system’s chance of alerting the user to any errors.
