Description
The MENU AT command displays a static pop-up choice list made up of a series of characters separated by commas, "<expC>,<expC>" as defined by the WITH <exp list> clause. Each set of characters between the commas becomes a separate menu item. The MENU AT choice list is non-scrollable, and can take up to 19 item, framed with a box. The menu display is positioned with the AT row <expN1>, column <expN2> TO row <expN3>, column <expN4> coordinates.
| Keyword | Description |
|---|---|
| BOLD | The menu frame is highlighted. |
| CLEAR | The inside of the menu frame is cleared before displaying the menu. |
| COMMAND <expC2> | The command <expC2> and all selections made from the menu are displayed in the action line (line 22). |
| LABEL <expC3> | The specified character string <expC3> is displayed at the top of the menu frame. |
| OFF | The display of messages in the message line is disabled. |
| QUIT | When the QUIT option is specified, the [ABANDON] key exits the menu. |
| SELECT <expC4> | Multiple selections can be made. The MENUITEM() function can be used to return a string containing the selections made, each separated with <expC4>. Selections are made by placing the cursor on the required menu item and pressing the [RETURN] key. Once all the required selections have been made, the [EXIT/SAVE] key is used to save them or the [ABANDON] key will cancel them. The ASTORE() function can be used to place all the selections into separate array items. |
On completion of this command, the MENUITEM() function will return the menu option selected as a character string.
