Custom Menu's

[Genx]

Technically, because this is setable in script maker, it is a valid topic. Anywho, my question is this. When you have a blank menu set (or any menu set it seems) the tools menu is always there. Anyway to get rid of it?

If you View - Toolbars and select which you want to display on command (either or both) while in layout and save it, then ...

Script in Miscellaeous - Allow Toolbars - script to toggle on or off. Play with it before responding ...

Righto, ummm, the problem was that i was in advanced, and apparently, there is no way to disallow that menu in advanced.

I have Advanced.

No clue.. I tried what you said, and tried toggling between allowing tool bars on and off, no difference, the Tools menu just won't go away. :o

[LaRetta]

What do you consider the toolbars, Genx? Can you show a gif of what you mean? Because the Toolbars are the second (standard) and third (text formatting) bars at the top.

No i didnt mean tool bars, i meant the Tools menu i.e. next to File etc.

I haven't used Filemaker's Custom Menus since they released them, but I remmeber being able to remove the tools menu, either through Account Priveleges, or when you make a runtime. However, to me the bigger problem and a show stopper is trying to stop FM from putting 'Exit' on the 1st menu.

After spending a lot of time, I gave up and went back to Dacon's Menu Control, which offers more features and is easier to use...worth every penny.

I'm not really worried so much about the quit, but like i said the problem goes away within FM Pro vs Advanced so i'm not really worried anymore.

Cheers for help,
