The 'Context menu' attribute is a comma-separated list, e.g.

Menu1,Menu2,Menu3

The 'Context menu' delegate is called when you select a menu option and the name of the menu option is passed to the delegate.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Event delegate for 'contextmenu' event
proc page1_contacts_field1_contextmenu(action)
        messagebox(action)
endproc

The Context Menu is displayed when you right-click on a field in Edit mode (inline edit or full section or page edit).
The Context Menu is a single level menu, but you can have multiple options.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Event delegate for 'click' event
proc Customers_section2_click()
        Lianja.get("customers.section2").footermenu = '|&{iif(orders.freight > 100.00, "Reject", "Accept")}'
endproc

The & character is used for hot key shortcuts (http://www.lianja.com/community/show...highlight=menu), but you can use {} in the menus.

Q:
I have created a menu footer by specifying the "custom menu" attribute in "Footer" section as below
#Prior,Next,Leave Records,Return
This will create 4 command buttons for me
May I know how can I tie actions to each of the footer menu actions?
A:
Custom footer menu delegate in the Advanced section of the Section delegates:




The delegate is simply called with the caption of the menu button so add an arg to your delegate proc and then compare the arg and act accordingly.

Q:
How is the menues (MNT and MPR) VFP uses?

Use of these is deprecated and discouraged in Lianja as they are specific to VFP and are desktop bound.
