lockMenus

Type

property

Summary

Specifies whether the menu bar is updated when the buttons used for the menu bar are changed.

Syntax

set the lockMenus to {true | false}

Description

Use the lockMenus property to hide temporary menu bar changes from the user, or to "hold" changes until you've finished all of them and are ready to display the new menu bar.

If the lockMenus is set to true, changes in the menubar group do not appear in the menu bar itself. To make these changes appear on screen, the lockMenus must be set to false momentarily.

The setting of this property has no effect on Unix and Windows systems.

Examples
