About Menu Objects
Whether you are creating custom form menus or popup menus, you must be familiar with creating and manipulating menu objects—the building blocks of Oracle Forms menus.
There are three types of menu objects:
Each menu module contains one or more menus (including a main menu, individual menus, and submenus). Each menu contains one or more menu items (including associated commands).
Like form objects, menu objects:
- Have parentage. For example, menu modules own menus, while menus own menu
items.
- Have properties you can manipulate to define runtime functionality. To view
menu or item properties, select a menu or item in the Object Navigator or
Menu Editor, and display the Property Palette.
- Can be independently moved, copied, or deleted. Note that if you move, copy,
or delete a menu, you also move, copy, or delete any associated submenu(s)
and menu item(s).
