About Menu Startup Code
Oracle Forms executes menu startup code when a menu is loaded into memory at form startup, or as the result of a call to the CALL_FORM, NEW_FORM, or REPLACE_MENU Built-in procedures. Startup code is optional, and can be used to perform the following tasks:
- Initialize substitution parameters and global variables.
- Programmatically set the initial display state of menu items: for example,
to enable or disable a menu item.
- Programmatically set the initial selection state of check and radio menu
items.
