POPUP Resource

The POPUP resource-definition statement creates a menu item that can contain menu items and submenus.

Syntax

POPUP text, [[optionlist]]    {       item-definitions      .      .      .  } 
 

Parameters

text

A string that contains the name of the menu. This string must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").

optionlist

This parameter specifies redefined menu options that specify the appearance of the menu item. This optional parameter can be one or more of the following.

Option	Description
CHECKED	Menu item has a check mark next to it. This option is not valid for a top-level menu.
GRAYED	Menu item is initially inactive and appears on the menu in gray or a lightened shade of the menu-text color. This option cannot be used with the INACTIVE option.
HELP	Identifies a help item.
INACTIVE	Menu item is displayed but it cannot be selected. This option cannot be used with the GRAYED option.
MENUBARBREAK	Same as MENUBREAK except that for pop-up menus, it separates the new column from the old column with a vertical line.
MENUBREAK	Places the menu item on a new line for static menu-bar items. For menus, it places the menu item in a new column with no dividing line between the columns.
