Assigning a Menu Bar to a Window

The last step in building a menu is assigning the menu bar to a window. You accomplish this by setting the window’s MENUBAR attribute equal to the menu’s widget handle. For example, if you are using the default window, you can refer to it with the DEFAULT-WINDOW system handle, as follows:

ASSIGN DEFAULT-WINDOW:MENUBAR = MENU mbar:HANDLE. 

In graphical systems, you can create multiple windows. So, to assign a menubar to a window other than the default window, use the widget handle variable you use in the CREATE WINDOW statement, as shown in the following example:

ASSIGN Mywindow:MENUBAR = MENU mbar:HANDLE.
