I decided to control which menu bar is active in a process ‘programmatically’ and it doesn’t work.
Each window is opened in its own process. I have done this for years. It guaranteed a unique ‘variable space’ for each window. I formerly had the habit of assigning an “Associated Menu Bar” to each form because that seemed the only way to guarantee a menu bar would work. Recently — now that I am using v17 — I decided to clear out the ‘Associated Menu Bar’ value so I could control which menu bar is active programatically. This is because I want the menu bar to depend upon the level of the user. Currently, I have a ‘DesignerBar’ and a ‘DispatcherBar’. These both work great if ‘Associated Menu Bar’ is used. However, when it is not, 4D totally ignores any menu choice made until the window [in its own process] is closed. —— in the Form’s ON LOAD event, I am calling SET MENU BAR(1) or (2). using (1;*) or (2;*) does not help. The correct menu bar is used, but not a single option on it works — UNTIL THE WINDOW IS CLOSED! Seems like an atrocious bug. Any suggestions? Should have been very simple, but... Thanks for any help, Chris ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
