FT_MENUTO() Execute light bar menu using prompts created with @...PROMPT ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Syntax
#include "FTMENUTO.CH" MENU TO <var> [COLD]
Arguments
<var> is the name of the variable to which the result of the menu selection should be assigned.
[COLD] is optional and if specified indicates that trigger characters should be treated as "cold," i.e. rather than causing the menu item to be selected it only causes the light bar to move to that selection.
Description
This enhanced version of MENU TO requires the inclusion of the header file FTMENUTO.CH in any source file that uses it. It may be used in place of the standard Clipper MENU TO command. However, in the interests of functionality it is NOT 100% compatible (in particular, you should make sure that the target memvar exists before executing the menu -- the Clipper version will create a PRIVATE memvar for you if it does not already exist, but this version does not). No whining! If compatibility is such a big deal then use the standard Clipper command.
Note that this command can also be called using function-style syntax. See the entry for FT_MENUTO() for further details.
