Usage Notes
- Each menu item has both a name and a label. The label, used only
in the runtime GUI, may differ from the name, which can be used programmatically.
- Unlike the name, which must follow PL/SQL naming conventions, the label
can include multiple words and punctuation. For example,More Info...
is an acceptable label, while the corresponding name would be more_info.
- When you create a new menu item in the Menu editor, Oracle Forms gives
it a default name, like ITEM2, and a default label, <New
Item>. When you edit the item label in the Menu editor, making
it, for instance, "Show Keys," the menu item name remains
ITEM2 until you change it in either the Object Navigator or the Properties
Palette.
