PDSEP (Pull-Down Separator)

The PDSEP tag defines a horizontal divider line on an action bar pull-down menu.

Syntax


>>-<PDSEP>--+----------+---------------------------------------><
            '-</PDSEP>-'

Comments

The PDSEP tag defines a horizontal divider line on an action bar pull-down menu. You use the horizontal divider to separate groups of related pull-down choices.

Restrictions

The PDSEP tag can only be coded between PDC tags. All PDSEP tags found before the first PDC tag or after the last PDC tag are discarded.
Only one PDSEP tag should be coded between PDC tags. If multiple PDSEP tags are found between PDC tags, the first one is accepted and the others are discarded.
The PDSEP tag automatically closes an open PDC tag and all nested tags following the PDC tag.

Processing

None.
