MENU-ITEM widget

A menu item is an item within a menu or submenu. A menu item can be a rule, a space, or a normal menu item. A normal menu item can be a command or a toggle‑box item. Most menu item attributes and all menu item events apply only to normal menu items. You can set up a static menu item within a DEFINE MENU statement or DEFINE SUB-MENU statement. You can create a dynamic menu item with the CREATE widget statement.

The following is a menu containing four menu items:
