File ‘menus.properties’
The menu tree is determined by the text file “menus.properties”. An arbi-
trary number of screens are supported and the menus can be two or more
deep. The first level menu items appear at the bottom of the screen. The
second level menu items appear on the right. The third and higher level
menu items appear as button screens. When showing the screen, the menu
text and image are shown on the bottom right. The MMI Map screen is gen-
erated directly from the ‘menus.properties’ file.
Each node of the menu tree consists of an entry containing the node name
and node properties:
