Oracle Forms: Working With Menus

Every form runs with one of the following:

• The default textual menu and Default Toolbar menu built into the form
• A Custom Textual men that the user defines as separate module and then attaches to the form for run time execution. A custom toolbar created by user.

At runtime, form can have only one menu module active at a time, either the default menu or custom menu.
The default menu is part of the form module. Custom menu modules, however, are separate from form modules. so, when an application, based on single form that uses a custom menu is delivered, following files must provided.

• An .FMX form module.
• An .MMX menu module.

in multi-form application, several form modules and several menu modules may be delivered to client. Multiple forms can share the same menu, or each form can invoke a different menu.
