Chris: Starting in V11, based on the user, I load into the menu bar what is applicable. As I recall, I had to send my menu system to tech support, and they used it to ‘fix’ some of their menu commands.
I have two tables, one for Menus, and one for the menu items for a given menu. So, if the user does not have the security level, some menu items are simply not added to the menu bar. Perhaps a similar approach would work for your forms. > On Nov 3, 2018, at 1:06 AM, Chris Belanger via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > 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.
