Menu-Level Processing

The processing done via menus can affect all levels of desktop application processing.

Each item of a menu has an associated option trigger. When a menu item is selected, the structure editor activates the associated option trigger. For example, you can, have an option which stores all the data in the form, and an option which makes the currently active field blink. Menus allow application developers to build more ‘user-friendliness’ into the applications they develop.

If a macro statement in an option trigger issues a structure editor function for which there is an associated trigger, this in turn activates the associated trigger.
