There are some menus and commands that you see in almost every windows program. For example, Cut, Copy, and Paste. Clarion provides an easy method for implementing these standard actions in your application menus–with the StdID property field on the Menu Editor dialog.
Simply enter one of the equates listed below in the StdID field. Clarion will automatically implement the command using standard windows behavior; you do not need any other support for it in your code. The standard equate labels and their associated actions are also contained in the ..\LIBSRC\EQUATES.CLW file.
