As explained in the Window painter, the name of any control is for programming and not for display purpose. As you type the text for the menu bar /menu items, PowerBuilder automatically assigns the name. It assigns a prefix "m_" for each menu bar/menu item name. PowerBuilder automatically strips out any spaces that you have included in the text and limits the length of the NAME to 40 characters. There is a 64-character limitation on the menu item TEXT.
