Menu frame descriptors

A menu frame definition file can begin with an optional set of frame descriptors (one set per menu), followed by at least one set of item descriptors (one set per item in the menu), and it can end with one or more optional sets of SLK descriptors defining SLKs to be displayed when the menu is current (one set per screen-labeled function key).

Some of the attributes of a menu that you can define are the following:

• the action to take when the menu is opened

• whether the user may select more than one item (multi-select)

• whether to open a multi-select menu with specific items already selected (marked)

• where to place the menu on the screen

• the longevity of the menu

• whether or not to show a specific item

• the action to take for each item

• the action to take when the menu is closed
