There are two types of menus supported by STx:
- a menu bar displayed at the top of a window and accessed with the mouse or an ALT+KEY combination.
- a context menu, displayed when the user clicks the right-hand mouse button and tailored to the current context.
Note that menus are also called popups in STx. Hence the commands are ADDPOPUP, DELETEPOPUP and so on.
