Existing D5 application now needs security. Most of "security" involves protecting access to menu items. I would like to implement this without bloating the code, adding lines for every menu OnClick handler. There is already an Application.OnMessage handler in the code. I thought I might add a handler for WM_COMMAND, intercepting menu clicks at that point. Yet nothing in the TMsg structure seems to point me back to a specific menu item. I see all menu items have automagically been assigned CMD ids, yet these are not available in the data received by Application.OnMessage. What do I not understand, or is there a better way to intercept all menu clicks for an existing application...? Thank you.
