Moving Objects in the Menu Editor
To move a menu:
- Click and drag the shaded menu handle.
When you click on a handle, it displays as a solid rectangle, the cursor changes
to a plus sign (+), and as you move the cursor to a specific location, Oracle Forms highlights the places where you can drop the menu.
- Drop the menu in the desired location.
Note: Moving a menu also moves its associated submenus.
To move a menu item:
- Click and drag the menu item.
When you drag an item, Oracle Forms displays a heavy line to indicate where
you can appropriately drop the item.
- Drop the menu item in the desired location.
Note: A menu item that displays a submenu must
have its Command Type property set to Menu. Accordingly, if you move a submenu
to a parent item with Command Type set to PL/SQL or Null, Oracle Forms
displays an alert:
FRM-15207: Parent item requires type change before
submenu is attached. (Code may be lost.)
- Do one of the following:
- Choose Change
type to accept the type change, unless you have PL/SQL code attached
to that menu item that you want to save.
- If you have PL/SQL code attached to that menu item, choose Cancel
and copy the PL/SQL code before you move the item.
