This section provides comprehensive information about functions in the Menu Painter and their usage.

Specifying Additional Options

  • When you define a status, you can set functions to either active or inactive. This allows you to use a single predefined menu bar, application toolbar, and function key setting in all statuses of an application, since you can deactivate any functions that are not supported on the current screen.

    For more information, see Activating and Deactivating Function Codes .

  • You can deactivate functions dynamically. This means that you do not need to create a new status if you want to deactivate only individual functions.

    For more information, see Deactivating Functions at Runtime .

  • You can change function texts and menu texts dynamically.

    For more information, see Defining Dynamic Function Texts and Defining Dynamic Menu Texts .
