Description

The current_item of an object is the object that the end user is currently pointing to. Each menu has a current item at all times. The constant current is a shorthand way of identifying the current item. When users move from one item to the next, the interface will send the set current_item message to the focus. If the object needs to scroll, the screen will be updated immediately. The message item_change is also triggered by this event.
