FT_MENUTO()
Execute light bar menu using prompts created with @...PROMPT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
#include "FTMENUTO.CH"
MENU TO <var> [COLD]
Arguments
<var> is the name of the variable to which the result of the menu
selection should be assigned.
[COLD] is optional and if specified indicates that trigger characters
should be treated as "cold," i.e. rather than causing the menu item
to be selected it only causes the light bar to move to that selection.
Description
This enhanced version of MENU TO requires the inclusion of the header
file FTMENUTO.CH in any source file that uses it. It may be used in
place of the standard Clipper MENU TO command. However, in the
interests of functionality it is NOT 100% compatible (in particular,
you should make sure that the target memvar exists before executing
the menu -- the Clipper version will create a PRIVATE memvar for you
if it does not already exist, but this version does not). No whining!
If compatibility is such a big deal then use the standard Clipper
command.
Note that this command can also be called using function-style
syntax. See the entry for FT_MENUTO() for further details.
Examples
#include "FTMENUTO.CH"
// Simple command
MENU TO memvar
Header File: FTMENUTO.CH
Source: MENUTO.PRG
