Create Menu Command
Syntax
create menu <menu_name> Applies to menus
Description
The create menu command creates an empty menu that appears in the Oracle Media Objects menu bar.
Once the menu has been created, the items in the menu may then be modified using the add menuItem command, or by setting the menuItems property. A submenu can be added to a menu item by issuing the add menu command.
The menu is created dynamically; it remains in the menu bar until delete menu has been issued, or the Oracle Media Objects session is terminated. To associate a menu with a particular stack or card, add the create menu command to the appropriate on openStack or on openCard handler.
Examples
Type the following into the Message Box and press Enter:
create menu "Colors"
Add the following handler to the script of a stack to associate a menu with a specific stack:
on openStack
create menu "Animals"
& "Pigs" into the_items
to the_items pass openStack
