TitleQTIPS - Comment Lines In Pulldown Menus
KeywordsMENU
PULLDOWN
COMMENT
TextDave Mills of the Nature Conservancy Council points out that is can
sometimes be desirable to have lines which take no action in a pull down
menu For EXAMPLE a report menu might wish to distinguish between the
pre written section of the menu and the ad hoc section by inserting a line
of char(176)s across the menu

To achieve this put the characters required in the "Selection" portion of
the menu entry screen and in the Code portion put a "*" When the menu
processor reaches this line it will place the highlight bar on the line but
will do nothing when return is pressed

If all that is required is a single line across the menu (as above the
Esc=Cancel line) this can be more easily achieved by inserting a blank line
in the menu definition where the line is required by pressing Ctrl N on the
menu entry screen line
