Use special menu items to customize the appearance and functionality of a menu. In addition to items of type Plain (the default), Oracle Forms supports four additional menu item types:
- Check
- Radio
- Separator
- Magic
About special menu items Restrictions
- The availability and appearance of each special menu item is platform-specific.
For example, if a particular platform displays check boxes as diamonds, it
is not possible to make them display as squares.
- Do not use check or radio items on the main menu (menu bar) or popup menus.
- Do not use separator items in the main menu.
- Do not set the Keyboard Accelerator, Icon, or Hint properties for a magic
menu item.
- You can use each magic menu item only once in a menu module. For example,
you cannot define the magic item Copy on two different menus in the same module.
