NEW MENU (dialog)

NEW MENU name displayItemName [ /G ]

Attach a dialog item to the dialog of a display item. Multiple dialog items can be attached to the dialog, but the dialog itself exists only once! Normally the macro CREATEMENU is used to create the display and the dialog item or to attach a dialog item to an existing display. Once you have created a dialog, you can populate it with controls (see Dialog Control Creation).

displayItemName

/G

Garbage collection. If specified, the item is automatically deleted when exiting the macro.

Dialogs are called MENUs due to historical reasons.
