MENU

The MENU tag defines a popup menu. The menu is created with the Menu() Function.

Syntax:

    <MENU id="menu_id">

      <option></option>
      <option></option>
      <separator></separator>
      ...
      <submenu>...</submenu>

    </MENU>


Parameters:

    id - A unique menu identifier.


Remarks:

  • The MENU block encapsulates any number of menu items and separators. These are defined by the OPTION and SEPARATOR tags.
  • The SUBMENU tag is used to create nested menus.


Example:

    <XML id="toolbar">
    <toolbar caption="Menu Example">
    <control type="toolbar">
    <button caption="Open Menu" style=dropdown action="Menu(mymenu)"></button>
    </control>

    <menudefinitions>
    <menu id="mymenu">
    <option caption="Home Page" action="http://www.trellian.com"></option>
    <separator></separator>
    <option caption="Order" action="http://www.trellian.com/order.htm"></option>
    <submenu>
    <option caption="Submenu Item 1"></option>
    <option caption="Submenu Item 2"></option>
    </submenu>
    </menu>
    <menudefinitions>
    </toolbar>
    </XML>



In this example a toolbar with a single button is created. When clicked, the Menu() functions displays a popup menu with the id mymenu.
The popup menu to be displayed is defined in the menudefinitions block. It includes two items, a separator and a sub-menu.
