Hello People.
>>
>>Here is the trick behind the menus with the heading.
>>
>>It's a simple trick cos there is no heading !
>>
>>Read on ...
>>
>>Here is what the Define Bar is all about !
>>
>>DEFINE BAR nMenuItemNumber1 | SystemItemName
>>OF MenuName PROMPT cMenuItemText
>>[BEFORE nMenuItemNumber2 | AFTER nMenuItemNumber3]
>>[FONT cFontName [, nFontSize]]
>>[STYLE cFontStyle]
>>[KEY KeyLabel [, cKeyText]]
>>[MARK cMarkCharacter]
>>[MESSAGE cMessageText]
>>[SKIP [FOR lExpression]]
>>[COLOR SCHEME nSchemeNumber
>>| COLOR ColorPairList]
>>
>>Of this, I have used just 2 directives ....
>>FONT cFontName [, nFontSize] and COLOR ColorPairList
>>
>>Ok here's the technique.
>>
>>Create a shortcut menu and add to it the following prompts ..
>>As it is including inverted commas !
>>( use my included Sample since wordwrap may not show the prompts properly)
>>
>>1 > " + "Your Headding" color
>>,rgb(0,0,0,255,255,255),,,,rgb(0,0,0,255,255,255)
>>font "tahoma" style "B
>>2 > \-
>>3 > Option 1
>>4 > Option 2
>>
>>Note the 1st Prompt is missing a closing inverted comma .. let
>>it be !
>>
>>Ok Now how and y it works ..
>>
>>The promp field in the menu designer accepts the above prompts.
>>The Menu Generator program intercepts these without any
>>processing so in the final .mpr file they end up as follows ...
>>
>>DEFINE BAR 1 OF shortcut PROMPT "" + "Your
>>Headding" color ,rgb(0,0,0,255,255,255),,,,rgb(0,0,0,255,255,255)
>>font "tahoma" style "B"
>>
>>Also note the formating .
>>
>>The 2 rgb values set in the color. They are for the foreground
>>and background color of the normal prompt and the same pair for
>>the highlighted prompt. So when the User moves the mouse over the
>>heading prompt, he wont see any changes as both the highlight and
>>normal colors are the same. It creates an illusion of a heading !
>>
>>This is a very very clumsy way of defining yor prompts in the
>>menu designer !
>>
>>A better sugestion would be to use a Public domain Menu Generator
>>called GenMenuX which is a much advanced menu
>>generator than the normal VFP generator.
>>
>>I am including a link to a sample that should work with the
>>normal VFP menu generator.
