RAIS 3.0 Programmer’s Guide – Part I : Advanced Customization

After the new menu has been validated, records that have been added to both the [Propagator
– Menu Selector] and [Treeview] tables need be copied to the RAIS 3.0 Creator. The new
form created [Custom – Hello World] also needs to be copied to the Creator (see section 3.2
for more details).
Notes:
Do not modify any of the menu entries created by the RAIS Creator. No data in the RAIS
back-end will be destroyed, but entering new data may become impossible.
2.10.1.2 Creating Standard Menus
Standard menus are menus displayed at the very top of the RAIS main window; they are
standard MS Windows menus. Menu points may either be located in the menu bar or in a
drop down.
Creating standard menus is not as tricky as creating treeview menus. The usual practice for
creating new objects is to create them first in the front-end and then copy them into the
creator. For standard menus, the best practice is doing all modifications directly in the RAIS
Creator.
Let’s create a new menu Custom Menu, with a sub menu called “Hello World” used to open
the custom form “Custom – Hello World”. Refer to section 2.7 for creating custom forms.
Open the RAIS Creator in design mode, and locate the function MenuCreate() in the module
[RAIS Menu Creator Functions]. Replace the code section
Set v = AddPopupMenu(m, "Tools")
AddExecutableMenu v, "Search Tool", "Search"
