I know it is late, but my workload and natural procrastination tendencies forced me to delay this. Now, after a few days of vacationing, I am ready.
I am attaching three images to show how the menu would look like. The background image is a nice jungle cascade I picked from one of those spam mails that I usually receive from travel agencies. The button in the left bottom corner of the form shown (menu2.gif) is a toggle button that shows or hides the toolbar (menu3.gif). Once the user double clicks on a page in the toolbar, the latter expands and places itself in the middle of the screen (menu1.gif). Each page in the pageframe has a treeview that contains the options relative to that page. When an option is chosen, the form is shown and the toolbar disappears, to leave the full available room on the screen. The user can call the toolbar at any time to launch additional forms. The forms can be minimized if there is no room in the screen. Also, each form inherits from a class that contains the Sizer class, picked up from a german public VFP site (ftp://prolib.de/), that proportionally expands or diminishes, the form. The toolbar itself is a subclass that reads a table containing all the options for each treeview. It determines the number of pages in the treeview from this table, and adds as many pages (derived from a page class) as are necessary. Then it builds each treeview, placing it in the same location on each page. An external file contains data to indicate to the toolbar what image to place (I usually put the company logo on each page). The green rectangle on the top right of the screen, shows the user name and authorization level, which is obtained from the login data. I hope the images are not too heavy and can be displayed properly. Again, a bit late now, but Happy Easter anyway.
