Creating menu items

Next, you must create the menu items that you use to build the DynSports menus.

To create menu items in the DynSports category:

Right-click the DynSports node that you created.
Choose Add Item on the pop-up menu. An Item update page appears on the folder:



Set the following values in the update page, and leave the other settings at their default values:

Field	Value
Item reference	oeCustMenuItem
Menu label	Customers
Description	Customer maintenance
System owned	Unselected
Tooltip	Customer maintenance
Style	Text only

The default Item Type is Action, which means an action takes place when this item is selected. This is what you want. An item can also be a Label, a visual Separator (rule), or a placeholder for something to be defined at run time.

The default Action Type is Launch, which is also what you want. You want to launch the appropriate browse window when this item is selected. You can also set an action to a logical property, publish a named event, run an internal in the linked object, or go to a URL. The Run option allows you to bring up an existing procedure window or run some other application function from a dynamic menu.

Type oeCustBrowseWin as the Object filename in the Action area and press the TAB key, as shown:



Choose Save.
Right-click the DynSports node, and choose Add Item on the pop-up menu.
Define a menu item for the Order Maintenance window, using the values in the following table:

Field	Value
Item reference	oeOrderMenuItem
Menu label	Orders
Description	Order maintenance
System owned	Unselected
Tooltip	Order maintenance
Style	Text only
Item type	Action
Action type	Launch
Object filename	oeOrderBrowseWin

The Item page should look like the following:
