HIDE MENU removes the specified menu bar, a set of menu bars, or all menu bars from the main Visual FoxPro window or from a user-defined window without removing the menu definition from memory. Before a menu bar can be hidden, it must first be created with DEFINE MENU. Hiding a menu bar isn't the same as deactivating it. When a menu bar is hidden, it stays resident in memory and can be displayed in the main Visual FoxPro window or in a user-defined window with ACTIVATE MENU or SHOW MENU.
