Thanks Keisuke. Your suggestion is a good one, but I would prefer to be able to
do the following.
1. Retain the 4D Write Pro contextual menu, but have a way to detect
when the user makes in the orientation of the write pro area from the menu.
The contextual menu provides many options not included in my
toolbar and I like that it is being managed by 4D. If future versions
unexpectedly break something in my toolbar the end users will have an immediate
workaround with the contextual menu. I guess I am looking at my tool bar as a
supplement to the built in 4D Write contextual menu.
2. Have 2 icons in my tool bar, like in the print dialog, for Portrait
and Landscape and be able to use them as one can from the contextual menu.
Neither of these are possible in the current version of 4D Write Pro. Perhaps I
should rewrite and post them as feature requests in the 4D forum.
For now I am retaining the contextual menu and I made the 4D Write Pro
area wide enough for Landscape. The user's only option is to use the contextual
menu and visually everything is ok switching between the 2 orientations.
