Frame definition files

Frame definition files

The following sections explain each of the descriptors that you can define for menu frames, form frames, and text frames.

The first section, ``Menu frame descriptors'', describes the functionality of the frame and item descriptors for menus. The following section, ``Examples of menu definition files'', presents some of the different ways you can create menu contents, and customize their appearance.

Next, ``Form frame descriptors'' covers the frame and field descriptors for forms. The section ``Example form definition files'' gives examples of their use.

``Text frame descriptors'' describes the frame descriptors for text frames (text frames have only frame descriptors and SLK descriptors), and ``Example text frame definition files'' give examples of their use.

Finally, the sections ``Defining a help frame for menu items or form fields'' and ``Using co-processing utilities'' cover some aspects of frame definition files that can be equally useful in all three types of frame definition files.


NOTE: Although SLK descriptors can be used in menu, form, and text frame definition files, they are discussed in ``Application level definition files''. Their use as described there applies to frame definition files as well.
