In a multiple-form application, several form modules can share the same menu, or each can invoke a different menu when it becomes the active form in the session. When Form A executes the CALL_FORM Built-in procedure to invoke Form B, arguments to the CALL_FORM procedure specify whether Form B should inherit Form A's menu or display its own menu.
At runtime, however, an application can have only one form menu module active at a time. To handle the juggling of form menu modules, Oracle Forms provides the following Built-in routines that allow you to show, hide, and replace the active menu in a Oracle Forms application.
REDISPLAY_MENU |
Redisplays the current menu. |
REPLACE_MENU |
Replaces the current menu with another menu or with no menu. |
