DoMenu Message
Syntax
on doMenu [<menuItem> [,<menuName>]]
end doMenu
Sent to the current card
Description
Oracle Media Objects generates the doMenu message whenever the user selects an item from a menu. Every doMenu handler must contain a menu command so that the doMenu message continues along the message hierarchy until it reaches Oracle Media Objects and is executed.
The optional <menuItem> parameter identifies the name of the item that was selected, and the optional <menuName> parameter identifies the name of the menu from which the item was selected.
Notes
Examples
Add the following handler to the script of a card. This handler displays a dialog box that displays the name of the chosen command whenever the user selects an item from a menu.
on doMenu the_item, the_menu
pass doMenu end doMenu
on doMenu the_item, the_menu
quote && "menu" with "OK" pass doMenu
