I use GenMenuX from Andrew MacNeill, which allows for directives. These
directives are
very similar to the old GenScrnX days. I use the *:IF directive when I need
security calls
to the security manager object. Something like this in the menu option comment
*:IF goApp.oSecurity("menu option")
The big advantage of using this tool is the menu options are not grayed out,
they never
appear on the menu and the user does not asked questions like: "why can't I get
to this
menu option?"
You can get GenMenuX from Andrew's site:

Subject: custom menus
I am trying to develop a menu system geared to the user.
IOW, user A logs in and his/her particular menu appears, which is different
from user B's
menu. This is related to permissions in the menu items. That is, for instance,
if I have a
payroll function in the menu and want one user to have full access to all items
in the
menu, while other users have limited access, I just want to develop special
menus for
each.
My idea is to put all pads, popups and menu bars in a table and have another
one with
users like this:
Menu prompt supervisor
clerk A clerk B
Payroll x
x
Employees x
x
Employee personal data x
x
Employee salaries data x
etc
In the above example, the supervisor has full access while clerk A can only
see all data except salaries and clerk B has no access to the payroll
function at all.
Is there anything done along these lines, so I won't have to spend time
"re-inventing the wheel" ?
Can you share ideas, or code or classes or whatever?
TIA
