Meaning
The tag defines a menu containing the softkey description and the dialog to be opened.
Attribute:
● name
Menu name
Syntax:
<MENU name = "<menu name>">
...
<open_form ...>
...
<SOFTKEY ...>
</SOFTKEY>
</MENU>
This tag defines the menu to be called. It can be used within a softkey block, a menu block,
and in a form. If a variable name is assigned to the tag as its value, the parser will activate the
menu stored in the variable.
In a menu block, the navigation is at the position in the instruction. Subsequent instructions
are no longer executed.
Note:
If the navigation target is to be determined by the content of a variable, this variable must be
declared a global variable.
Syntax:
<NAVIGATION>menu name</NAVIGATION>
Example:
<menu name = "main">
<softkey POSITION="1">
<caption>sec. form</caption>
<navigation>sec_menu</navigation>
</softkey>
</menu>
<menu name = "sec_menu">
<open_form name = "sec_form" />
<softkey_back>
<navigation>main</navigation>
</softkey_back>
</menu>
