Overview
The main feature of Menu/Selection Objects is how the information is displayed - within a menu or a list. The operator is given predetermined options to select from. This type of objects includes two groups:
1. Menu Objects
The options provided in a menu object enable the device operator to jump to a specific point of the application (ex: other programs).
("Menu Button"; "Menu Text" and " Button").
