Rendering of a start menu

Start menus can be displayed in different ways.

By default, start menus are not rendered: You need to define the startMenuPosition style attribute for the current window, to a value different from "none".

Secondary style attributes can be used to specify the decoration and behavior of the start menu:

startMenuSize,
startMenuShortcut,
startMenuAccelerator,
startMenuExecShortcut2

In the next example, the presentation styles file defines the start menu attributes to render the start menu as a large tree:

<Style name="Window.container">
     <StyleAttribute name="windowType" value="normal" />
     <StyleAttribute name="startMenuPosition" value="tree" />
     <StyleAttribute name="startMenuSize" value="large" />
</Style>

You can then reference this style in the form definition with WINDOWSTYLE attribute:

LAYOUT (WINDOWSTYLE="tsm")
...

Or in the program, when creating the window, with the STYLE attribute of

CREATE
WINDOW

OPEN WINDOW w1 WITH FORM "f1" ATTRIBUTES(STYLE="tsm")
