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 (Traditional Method) is the original method, which is still the most flexible, but most difficult to use. The second form (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.
