Replace standard Edit menu

Syntax

Replace standard Edit menu {class-name[/instance-name] [(parameters)]}

Description

This command removes the standard built-in Edit menu from the menu bar and replaces it with a custom menu. You can assign an instance name for the replacement menu. The default instance name of the replacement menu is the menu class name. If no replacement menu name is specified, the Edit menu is reinstated.

The replacement menu will remain enabled even when commands such as Disable all menus are issued, or modal user-defined windows are opened. The only time the replacement menu will not remain enabled is when a report is printed to screen with Send to screen, and the check box option Do not wait for user is not checked (that is, Omnis is awaiting user input).

You can disable the Edit menu or its replacement menu by using Disable menu line.

Example

# Replace the standard edit menu with the user
# defined menu mMyEdit while in enter data 
# $construct of window 
Replace standard Edit menu {mMyEdit}
