The Menu Object provides scripted access to all major application modules within Tradium. It is available in Tradium Basic Script (TBS) as a pre-instantiated object named Menu, and can be used without any initialisation.

 

The Menu Object offers two parallel APIs. The Dutch API contains the original set of methods that have been part of Tradium since the early versions. These methods have a fixed, compact parameter signature and are maintained for full backwards compatibility. The English API is a modern, extended set of methods introduced in version V12.10. These methods offer significantly more parameters, giving scripts finer control over the applications they open. Where a Dutch method simply opens an application, its English counterpart often allows filters, view modes, date ranges, and auto-start behaviour to be set in a single call. Both APIs can be used side by side in the same script.

 

 

 

 

All parameters shown between square brackets [ ] are optional. Parameters without brackets are required. In the parameter descriptions, optional parameters are always identified with the word Optional. at the start of the description.
