The AUI_MENU class deals with the A-Shell menu bar, offering methods for adding and deleting menu items. The first form of the syntax above (AUI_Menu Traditional Method) is the original method, which is still the most flexible, but most difficult to use. The second form (AUI_Menu Simplified Method) vastly reduces the amount of code you need to write.
Note:
• When the GUI trace is active, AUI_MENU operations are traced.
• This operation can only take place on a GUI-enabled client, either ATE or some form of A-Shell/Windows.
• Information on recent changes to AUI_MENU may be found in the AUI_MENU Enhancements section.
Samples
Several sample programs illustrating menu operations may be found in [908,35] of the SOSLIB.
