Sub-Menus

Each menu can be a sub-menu of a superordinate menu or button. Thus you create a hierarchical menu structure.

A menu becomes a sub-menu if it is called via the macro @NEXT at the superordinate item. The sub-menu name is the corresponding parameter.


Display Options for Menus

The display of menus depends on the maximum menu length defined and the number of items contained.

Menu Type Maximum Menu Length Menu Display
Pull-Down Menus at the Top-Menu
Mask Menus
> = number of items Single-column menu
< number of items multi-column menu
Field Selection Menus (Choice Boxes) > = number of items Choice box without scrollbar
< number of items Scrollable choice box

Note! Pull-down menus at the top menu and mask menus longer than the size of the screen should not be used. Transformation into a scrollbar is not supported.
