Returns the name of the active menu bar as an uppercase character string.

MENU(В )

Return Value

Character

Remarks

MENU(В ) returns an empty string if no menu is active. Use the Menu Designer to create a menu and activate it.

Example

The following example uses MENU(В ) to pass the name of a menu bar to a procedure. The current system menu bar is saved to memory with SET SYSMENU SAVE, and all system menu titles are removed with SET SYSMENU TO.

Several system menu titles are created with DEFINE PAD. When you choose a menu title, MENU(В ) passes the name of the Microsoft Visual FoxPro system menu bar, _MSYSMENU, to the choice procedure. The choice procedure displays the name of the menu title you chose and the name of the system menu bar. If you choose the Exit menu, the original Visual FoxPro system menu is restored.
