When i went to V14 implemented my own pseudo user mode. There is Miyako
component to do one very quickly. I rolled my own because
1) I never take the easy road
2) I wanted to use the opportunity to control user mode(i sometime let
administrators in there) and wanted to keep them away from some tables and and
‘manipulate’ some field names contextualy.
Its a while ago I did it now i don't remember it being too painful-but then i
already had a ‘quit to user ‘method-which did a post key in the pre V14 days,
and I had already implemented code to build menus dynamically and as you know
also had a pretty slick way of creating a listbox based output form. my code
that runs in the quit to user method does(SOMETHING LIKE) the following
If (Is compiled mode)
HIDE TOOL BAR
$Proc:=New process("PseudoUserMode";256000;"User Mode")
Else
//lets me get to design mode this way in V14
SET WINDOW RECT(53;50;53+455;50+267;Frontmost window)
TRACE//this lets me get to design mode-not very elegant!!
ON EVENT CALL("")
end if
here is a little link to a video showing my pseudo user mode-there are things i
never fully ironed out but you will get the idea(hope you especially like my
implementation of quick report)
