Detached menus are created using the GUIPANEL /DETACH
command. Once created, buttons and pulldown menus can be defined within the
detached menu using respectively the GUI
BUTTON and
GUI
MENU commands respectively. There are no associated
variables to the detached menus. Help is available through a Help button.
The menu is mapped when the GUI
GO command is typed.
The following procedure illustrates how to create a detach menu; it creates a menu bar with 3 pulldown menus and a help button.
