Locking the Name

As explained above, PowerBuilder automatically assigns the name. Once you leave a menu item in which you are typing the text and come back later and change the text, the name is not changed, since it is locked.

To change the name, you need to de-select the LockName CheckBox. The benefit of locking a menu item name is that, any references to it in the application are still valid even after text change.
