About the Menu and Menu Item Object Types

The Menu object type defines a named menu that is displayed in the user interface. You can add and remove menu items for each menu.

Menu Item object types associate a Command object definition with a Menu Item object definition. This association places a menu item whose invoked method is specified in the Command object definition on the specified menu in a given position. Significant properties are the following:

• Name. Uniquely identifies the menu or menu item.
• Command. Name of the Command object definition that is to provide the method and target for the menu item.
• Caption. The text displayed in the menu or menu item.
• Position. Sequence of the values determines the order of menu items. Also determines parent-child relationships. For example a menu item with a Position value of 150 is a parent to menu items with Position values of 150.10, 150.20, and so on. Parent menu items must be active for child menu items to appear.
