PML Defined Menufields Managed by Application Framework Addins

It is a requirement that all forms can be shown from the main menu bar of the application framework. For non F&M forms, as in, the new C# defined forms the following procedure is necessary.

Define PML menu in normal way, but agree menufield names between AppWare and software (Addin). Do not assign a PML callback or declare the field as CORE.

When the menufield is created, DRUID raises a 'menu field created' event which must be subscribed to by the appropriate Addin software. This event will supply the field name. When the Addin receives the event with its agreed field name, it must add its own callback to the menu item. This callback will typically display the appropriate Addin specific form.
