Hi ,

When you create a GUI status it can assign to the following

1 . Status - Normal GUI status with all the menu ( Reports Status )

2 .Online Status - Status for Module Pool

3 Dialog - Status in Modal Dialog Box

4 Context Menu - This option is only to add menu and sub menu ,no application tool bar and Function keys

Please reward if useful.

Hi Abhi

for Dialog Box : This type creates a status for a dialog box without a menu bar. The system proposes the standard dialog box function codes for the function key settings.

Status: Name you give to status.

Online Status : A screen for the dialog between user and program. Dialog screens contain input and output fields.

Status - Open the Menu Painter work area

To create a new status using the Menu Painter:

Create the status

Create the menu bar (or create a reference to an existing menu bar)

Add menu entries

Define new function key settings

Define the standard toolbar (or create a reference to an existing one)

Define the application toolbar (or create a reference to an existing one)

Test the status

Activate the status

Dialog status - Menu bars, standard toolbar, function keys and application toolbar

Context menu - A context menu. Context menus contain a set of functions that you can use to construct a context-sensitive menu.
