MENUID _MenuId(long literal)
long literal;                  /* System-defined literal. */

Remarks

Literals are defined in the API include file PRO_EXT.H.

For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Accessing the Visual FoxPro API.

Example

The following example adds a menu title to the system menu. It then attaches a drop-down menu with two items on it. _MenuId(В ) is used to obtain the MENUID of the system menu.
