Standard Menu Command

For Omnis Studio 4/5
By Götz Krija

The 'Standard menu command' command allows you to call any built-in Omnis menu command or option from within your Omnis code. Every menu command or option in the Omnis IDE is assigned a number that can be called using this command. The syntax for the command is:

Standard menu command number {menu-option}

For example, the following command will open the Print destination dialog:

Standard menu command 11090 {Print Destination '$'...}

Note that several of the menu options available to this command are only available in the Omnis IDE and are not available in the Omnis runtime; therefore you should not use them in end-user libraries. Note also that this command cannot run in the Omnis web client.

When you select 'Standard menu command' in the Omnis Method Editor, you can select the menu option from a list, and the command number is prefixed with the menu name. You can however execute the command with the number alone. We are often asked what numbers can be used with the command, therefore we thought it might be helpful to publish a list of the numbers for you here:
