You can explicitly name the event handling method you want to be used for
any menu item. But you can not change the method name if you are using
automatic connection of the menu items with the menu being defined in a .rc
file.
For instance with a ScriptMenuBar in the new() method:
>>--new(--rcFile--+------+-+----------+-+---------+-+-----------+-+------------+-)--><
+-,-id-+ +-,-helpID-+ +-,-count-+ +-,-connect-+
+-,-attachTo-+
you would have the connect argument be false, which is the default. And
then use one of the connectCommandXXX() methods to explicity name the event
handling method your want for the menu item(s)
Just to reiterate the point, there is no way to have the menu items
*automatically* connected and use a different event handling method.

Sure, Microsoft defines it. ;-)
Google 'msdn resources'
The top hit I see is: Menus and Other Resources (Windows) - MSDN - Microsoft
Then follow the link -> Resource Compiler -> About Resource Files
-> Resource-definition statements ->
Then it gets a little difficult to follow. On what I'm looking at there is
a tree structure on the left. You need to find MENU Statement and MENUITEM
statement:
MENUITEM text, result, [optionlist]
With 'result' being a number or something that resolves to a number. This
is the menu item ID. So, for one of the connectCommandXX() methods:
>>--connectCommandEvent(--id--,--methodName--+--------+--)---------------------><
+-,-dlg--+
If result in the definition above was 112 then you would do:
menuObj~connectCommandEvent(112, 'DisplayOption1', dlg)
If that doesn't clear things up for you, then ask some follow up questions.
