How To Use the _ShortCutMenu Foundation Class

This article was previously published under Q193783

SUMMARY

This article describes how to create a shortcut menu using the _ShortCutMenu Foundation Class in the _menu.vcx class library.

MORE INFORMATION

The _ShortCutMenu Foundation Class allows you to bold, disable, and place a check mark next to the menu prompt.

The following example shows how to use the _ShortCutMenu Foundation Class:

  1. Create a form named Myshortmenu.
  2. Add the _ShortCutMenu class, located in the _menu.vcx, to the form. The _menu.vcx file resides in the Home()\FFC folder.
  3. Create two custom properties for the form, lcheck, and lbold. Next, create a custom method, called Myproc, for the form.
  4. In the RightClick event of the form, place the following code:
          PRIVATE oTHISForm
          oTHISFORM = Thisform
          Thisform._shortcutmenu1.ClearMenu
    
          WITH Thisform._shortcutmenu1
             .AddMenuBar("AAA",[wait window "AAA"])
             .AddMenuSeparator()
             .AddMenuBar("Check/UnCheck CCC",[oTHISFORM.myproc(prompt())])
             .AddMenuBar("BBB",[wait window "BBB"])
             .AddMenuBar("CCC",[wait window "CCC"],,,oTHISFORM.lcheck)
             .AddMenuBar("DDD",[wait window "DDD"],,,,.T.)
            .AddMenuBar("EEE",[oTHISFORM.myproc(prompt())],,,,,oTHISFORM.lbold)
          ENDWITH
    
          Thisform._shortcutmenu1.ShowMenu()
    							
  5. In the custom Myproc method, place the following code:
          PARAMETER cPrompt
    
          DO CASE
             CASE cPrompt = "Check/UnCheck CCC"
                IF Thisform.lcheck
                   Thisform.lcheck = .F.
                   WAIT WINDOW "PPP is now unchecked" NOWAIT
                ELSE
                   Thisform.lcheck = .T.
                   WAIT WINDOW "PPP is now checked"  NOWAIT
                ENDIF
             CASE cPrompt = "EEE"
                IF Thisform.lbold
                   Thisform.lbold = .F.
                ELSE
                   Thisform.lbold = .T.
                ENDIF
          ENDCASE
    							
  6. Save and run the form.
Right-click the form and select "Check/UnCheck CCC" to either place or remove a check mark next to the "CCC" menu prompt. A WAIT WINDOW command appears each time you toggle the check mark. Select the "EEE" prompt to toggle the bold face on or off.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
