MENU instruction configuration

The rendering and behavior of a MENU instruction can be configured with the ATTRIBUTES clause:

MENU "Question"
     ATTRIBUTES (
         STYLE="dialog",
         COMMENT="Do you want to commit your changes?"
      )

When the STYLE dialog attribute is set to 'default' or when you do not specify the menu type, the runtime system generates a default decoration as a set of buttons in a specific area of the current window.

When the STYLE attribute is set to 'dialog', the menu options appear as buttons at the bottom in a temporary modal window, in which you can define the message and the icon with the COMMENT and IMAGE attributes.

When the STYLE is set to 'popup', the menu appears as a pop-up menu (a context menu).

If the menu STYLE is "dialog" or "popup", the dialog is automatically exited after any action clause such as ON ACTION, COMMAND, ON IDLE or ON TIMER.
