Re: [foxboro] Display Menus in FoxView

Hello,

You can create your own .mnu files with nice descriptions lined up with
filenames.  The downside to doing this is when you create a new display
you have to also edit the appropriate .mnu file.  If you have had a late
night on the banjo it may be difficult to remember this.

Here is an example .mnu file called f2.mnu

pulldown foxview menu
"Summary"               "/opt/pclApps/K2MHF_MVC/fvdisp/K2MHF_MVC_sum1"
"Profile"               "/opt/pclApps/K2MHF_MVC/fvdisp/F2_CNSR_Prof"
"Dist"                  "/opt/pclApps/K2MHF_MVC/fvdisp/F2_Air_Dist"
"Errors"                "/opt/pclApps/K2MHF_MVC/fvdisp/F2_Total_Errors"
"Watch"                 "/opt/pclApps/K2MHF_MVC/fvdisp/F2_Dogs"

Hope this helps,
Sean

Subject: [foxboro] Display Menus in FoxView

Hello all,

I have inherited a plant that has many, many displays in a single
directory.  I would like a way, perhaps using .pulldown or .mnu files,
to segregate this into several menu pulldowns. So there would be a top
menus button for Area1, Area2, Area3... etc.

What I have done (and really don't like) is build some new directories
like Area1, Area2, Area3, etc. and symbolically linked files from the
main directory into these.  It works, but seems cludgy.  I figure one of
you clever folks out there have already done something better than this.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards,
David
