Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

BAR Specifies that you want Form Builder to display the menu in a bar
style horizontally across the top of the root window.
FULL_SCREEN Specifies that you want Form Builder to display the
menu in a full-screen style.
starting_menu Specifies the menu within the menu module that Form Builder should use
as the starting menu. The data type of the name is VARCHAR2.
group_name Specifies the security role that Form Builder is to use. If you do not specify
a role name, Form Builder uses the current username to determine the role.
use_file Indicates how Form Builder should locate the menu .MMX file to be run.
Corresponds to the Menu Source form module property. The data type of
use_file is BOOLEAN.
REPLACE_MENU examples
NULL Specifies that Form Builder should read the current form’s Menu
Source property and execute REPLACE_MENU accordingly. For
example, if the form module Menu Source property is set to Yes for the
current form, Form Builder executes REPLACE_MENU as if the use_file
actual parameter was TRUE.
FALSE Specifies that Form Builder should treat the menu_module value
as a reference to a .MMB (binary) menu module in the database, and should
query this module to get the actual name of the .MMX (executable).
TRUE Specifies that Form Builder should treat the menu_module value as
a direct reference to a .MMX menu runfile in the file system.
/*
** Built-in: REPLACE_MENU

** have multiple "root-menus" which an application
