=READ MENU BAR= ==Class== Menus ==Purpose== Activate a FoxBASE+ style pull-down menu system ==Syntax== READ MENU BAR TO <memvar1>,<memvar2> [SAVE] [TIMEOUT <expN>] ==See Also== [[MENU]], [[MENU BAR]], [[READ MENU]] ==Description== The READ MENU BAR command activates a pulldown menu system. The <memvar1> and <memvar2> variables are used to position the light bar menu on the required pulldown. On selection of a pulldown item, the variables return the item selected. The menu clears from the screen after a menu selection is made, unless the SAVE option is specified. The SAVE option causes the menu to remain on the screen after a menu selection is made. As this is the last step in creating a pulldown menu system, menu arrays and menu bars must be initialized and installed prior to using the READ MENU BAR command. ====SAVE==== The menu options are not released and can be activated by another READ MENU BAR command. ====TIMEOUT <expN>==== The TIMEOUT clause determines how long in seconds, <expN>, the READ MENU BAR will wait for user input before exiting automatically. ==Example== <code lang="recital"> // Install the pull-down menu system menu bar top,3 menu 1,files,7,7 menu 2, modify 5,5 menu 3,data,9,9 // Activate the pull-down menu system row = 1 col = 1 read menu bar to row, col save </code> ==Products== Recital Mirage Server, Recital Terminal Developer [[Category:Documentation]] [[Category:Commands]]
