Remarks

MenuSelectEvent events enable the program to anticipate that the user can activate an item or to provide status information.

Tip
When a menu item is actually selected (and therefore executed), the system generates a MenuCommandEvent.

When an accelerator key is executed, a MenuSelectEvent, immediately followed by a MenuCommandEvent, is generated to simulate the mouse route—the various selections that you have to pass over to choose the option. (Thus, the accelerator generates the same event as those generated with a mouse.)

Examples

The following example prints a different help line in the status bar, depending on which command is currently selected:

Copy

 1CLASS MyWindow INHERIT TopAppWindow
 2METHOD MenuSelect(oMSE) CLASS MyWindow
 3LOCAL j := oMSE:ItemID
 4DO CASE
 5CASE j = IDMI_RED
 6TextPrint("Select the Red Pen", Point{10,10})
 7CASE j = IDMI_GREEN
 8TextPrint("Select the Green Pen", Point{10,10})
 9CASE j = IDMI_BLUE
10TextPrint("Select the Blue Pen", Point{10,10})
11ENDCASE
