For stylistic reasons, you might choose to display a context menu as an action menu at runtime. Although accessing these menu types is slightly different (context menus use the secondary mouse button, action menus use the primary mouse button), technically, an action menu is a context menu.

Prerequisites

You have already created and configured a context menu.

Procedure

To display a context menu as an action menu, proceed as follows:

  1. Run the application and choose Show Customizable Areas to highlight the individual GUIBBs in the application.

  2. Choose the GUIBB (for example, a list or form component) whose context menu you want to display as an action menu.

  3. Create a new Customizing for the application if none exists.

    The FPM configuration editor, FLUID, opens.

  4. Choose the <GUIBB> Schema panel and choose the relevant element inside the panel.

  5. Ensure that the Display Type of the element is set to Text View; action menus can only be displayed using this type of Display Type.

  6. In the Display Type Dependent Properties section of the Attributes panel, in the Action Menu ID field, enter the Context Menu ID of your chosen context menu.

  7. Save and test your application.
