no.
however, you can have the same menu id's on each menu, and, you then
handle the menuEvent inside your ApplicationHandleEvent (not a specific
form handler). this is what we have done for years with our help/about
buttons/menu options :)
ie:
MENU ID menu1
BEGIN
PULLDOWN "Test"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "About" GlobalMenuAbout "A"
END
END
MENU ID menu2
BEGIN
PULLDOWN "Test"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "About" GlobalMenuAbout "A"
END
END
... think about it, 100% possible.
