1- Hands-On 13: Main menu

    2- Hands-On 14: Pop up menu

    3- Hands-On 15: Move objects, Layout appearances

    4- Hands-On 16: Run Application from desktop

Before going through your Hands-On training, lets take note of the following important definitions to remember:

·        Always start with the default created menu, instead of creating a main menu from scratch.

·        Main Menus do have their own module file.  They are independent of form modules.  It will be very useful to look at the code underlying the default menu used by the Forms Runtime program.  This module was created by Oracle and it is used as a default main menu.  The source file for this menu is stored in the FORMS directory in a file named “menudefs.mmb.”  You can easily customized this file or use it as a basis for a new menu module.

·        In Hands-On 13, you will experience how to create and modify a Main Menu object.

·        Pop-up menus are "mini-menus" that appear when you right click on an object.  They are intended to include only items relevant to the object they are attached to.  Therefore an application may have many pop-up menus.  Pop-up menus do not have module files.  They are owned by the FORM modules.

·        In Hands-On 14, you will experience how to create a Pop up menu.

·        In Hands-On 15, you will experience how to move objects on your layout.

·        In Hands-On 16, you will experience how to run your application from the desktop.

• A Property Palette contains object properties.  The contents of the Property Palette are referred to as the “Property sheet” for the object.  You use the Property Palette to modify object properties.  To open the Property Palette of an object, go to the object and right click on the mouse then select Property Palette.

Now, you should first read your case study, and try to solve the questions.  Then play the Hands-On training movie until you become familiar with the subject.  For more information about the subject, you are encouraged to read from a wide selection of available books.

Good luck!
