Menu Properties

The items are arranged in alphabetical order.

Item Significance
88-name COBOL 88-name assigned to the event in your copybook.  It will be prefaced by the panel name.
Appearance:

Has a toolbar button

Includes a button on the toolbar for this menu item. 
Appearance:

Has keyboard equivalent

Assigns a keyboard equivalent to this menu selection.

Use of Alt+ combinations:  You should be careful to avoid conflicts with standard Windows keyboard shortcutsAlt+ combinations should be avoided as they conflict with access keys.

If you enable the standard Windows shortcut to a button or menu item by using the ampersand (&) character in the label, it is redundant to specify an Alt+ character combination as a shortcut key.

Appearance:

If button assigned, position on toolbar

If the menu option is also present as a button on the toolbar, specifies the position of the button.  Zero means it is not on the toolbar.
Appearance:

Program can enable/disable

Inserts 88-level items in the panel copybook that allows your program to protect this selection.
Appearance:

Separator follows this item

Inserts a horizontal line separator following this item in your menu.
Assign event ID automatically Default; the panel editor will assign the numeric event-IDs to events.  Unless you have very good reasons to manually assign these values, you should let the panel editor assign event-IDs to avoid conflicts with other events assigned to the panel. 

The number assigned to the event ID is not significant because you should always use the 88-level items to evaluate events.

Event ID Event ID assigned to this event.
Presentation:

Label

Menu text for this item.

If this menu selection invokes a dialog box or property sheet, you should follow the label with an ellipsis (...).

Use of ampersand (&) character:  To assign an access key to this item, insert an ampersand (&) character in front of the character to be used as the access key.  To define F as the access key for the File command, enter &File as the label.  The ampersand is not displayed, and the following character will be underlined:  File

If you want to display an ampersand, enter two of them (&&).
