MenuItem Widget
MenuItem is a choice on the Menu. It is typically a command or function such as Application Logout, Form Exit, Sending SMS, or other options that you can select inside a Menu.
You can add MenuItems for a specific Form. These MenuItems appear when you navigate to the Form (that contains the MenuItems) and select the Menu button on the device. The added MenuItems appear along with the regular device MenuItems for that Form.
Following are the real-time use cases of MenuItem widget:
