Accessing Library Objects from IDE

Accessing Menu Bar Definition from IDE

The Menu Bar Definition task on the IDE Main Launcher is used to invoke the Menu Bar Definition window for creating or editing a menu.

To select this task, expand the Graphical Application Builder (NOMADS) category on the Menu list. This task opens the New/Existing Menu window, which is used to specify a library and the name of a new or existing menu.

(The Menu Bar Definition task was added in PxPlus 2023 Update 1.)

This window consists of the following:

Library

Defaults to the Default Library defined for the current project. If a default library was not defined, this will be blank. Enter the name of the library file or click the Query button.

Name

Enter the name of the menu or click the drop-down arrow to select from a list of the existing menus in the library. If the menu name does not exist, you will be able to create the new menu when you click Ok.

Note:
When entering a new menu name, valid characters are: letters (A-Z, a-z); numbers (0-9); ~ (tilde); @ (at symbol); . (period); $ (dollar sign); _ (underscore); - (dash); + (plus sign). If an invalid character is used, a message will display.

Ok

Launches Menu Bar Definition.

Cancel

Closes the New/Existing Menu window with no further action taken.
