Context Menus

Guidelines

• In Application Forms, you should implement context menus using the command manager. This provides a menu with standard menu items that can be extended for the application logic.
• Group context menu items such:
  • Object methods
  • <Separator>
  • Methods activating other windows
  • <Separator>
  • Standard Foundation1 menu items
• Menu texts:
  • Use capitalized words, except for prepositions. All menu items launching another window or dialog should consist of text followed by "...".

    Use no spaces between the text and the "..." string. E.g. Spare Parts...

• Keyboard Accelerators should be used on all menu items.
• When the condition for a menu item is FALSE, the menu item should be disabled, not invisible/removed.
• Keep context menus as small as possible.
