SUMMARY
GenMenu.prg has been enhanced in Visual FoxPro by the addition of OLE support and long filename support. The menu file format (.mnx) is unchanged in Visual FoxPro. All .mnx and .mpr files created in FoxPro versions 2.x will work in Visual FoxPro with no changes.



MORE INFORMATION
Because Visual FoxPro supports in-place editing of OLE objects, the NEGOTIATE clause was added to the DEFINE PAD command to enable the developer to specify where, if anywhere, a menu item should appear when an OLE server such as Microsoft Excel has been activated for in-place editing. GenMenu.prg generates the appropriate NEGOTIATE clause. It gets this information from the value stored in the Location field of the .mnx file created by the Menu Designer.

Previous restrictions on .mnx and .mpr filename length have been updated for the long filenames supported by Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Detailed information can be found in the revision history at the end of GenMenu.prg.
