You can simplify the definition of long menus by creating and re-using menu components. Creating such components does not differ from creating regular menu objects. Every menu can also be a menu component. A component is used in a superordinate menu with the help of a component placeholder. As a result the superordinate menu is extended by the items of the component.
Note! The nesting depth of menu components is limited to ten levels in order to prevent infinite loops.
How to define and use menu components:
The component placeholder is a special item object. It is sufficient to create it once. You will then be able to use it whenever you want to insert menu components.
If you reconfigure a menu component in local memory, DataView will automatically all menus in main memory which the component (also indirectly) is assigned to. Thus, superordinate objects alsready loaded into main memory do not have to be explicitly reconfigured.
