The Menu Painter is one of the tools of the ABAP Workbench. You use it to design user interfaces for your ABAP programs and to define the functions that you want to use within these interfaces.
If you want to use the Menu Painter and the Modification Assistant together, see Modifications in the Menu Painter.
ABAP programs contain a wide variety of functions which fall into different categories within the user interface. An instance of the user interface consisting of a menu bar, a standard toolbar, an application toolbar, and a function key setting, is called a GUI status. The GUI status and GUI title defines how the user interface looks and behaves in an ABAP program. You can see a representation of these objects in the figure below.
Some statuses do not use all of the objects in the figure above. For example, the status of a modal dialog box uses only function keys and an application toolbar.
