changes.
set_item_term() assigns an application-defined function to be called when the menu is unposted and just before the current item changes.
item_term() returns a pointer to the termination function, if any, called when the menu is unposted and just before the current item
changes.
set_menu_init() assigns an application-defined function to be called when the menu is posted and just after the top row changes on a posted
menu. menu_init() returns a pointer to the menu initialization routine, if any, called when the menu is posted and just after the top row
changes on a posted menu.
set_menu_term() assigns an application-defined function to be called when the menu is unposted and just before the top row changes on a
posted menu. menu_term() returns a pointer to the menu termination routine, if any, called when the menu is unposted and just before the
