SteveB Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 If you're talking about Filemaker's custom menu in v8 Advanced, no you can't. I don't believe Secure FM will either. Dacons Menu Control supposedly does, but I haven't tried it. If you were on a Win platform, you could use a popup menu that was script driven.

SlimJim Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 There are some very limited things that you can do in FMP8A. For example define a menu set so that the successive menu items are specified as the values in a value list, item n gets the label MiddleValues (ValueListItems ( Get(FileName); "Value List" ) ; n ; 1 ) Of course there is the immediate limitation that you must decide how many to include. What do you do when a menu item is selected. You can set off a script and you can use this value as a parameter. Another limitation is "refreshing" once the menu is displayed it doesn't change when the Value List changes again restricting its usefulness.
