Remove Help from Menu Set

[Stuart Taylor]

Can I remove second Help or Edit it in Custom Menu Set?

As i would like to offer my clients help i do not want to confuse them with an empty Help menu but seem unable to remove it.

Ok solved it ... if you copy the existing Help it has a lock on it you can then customise it an add it to your set... if you just create a new one and call it help it makes a new menu item ... hmmm

This also works on FileMaker Pro the menu item ... but im sure you all know that already.

Hi Stuart,

I've been looking for a way to remove the default "Filemaker" menu item (appears after the Apple menu) or at least disable individual items on it. I'll try what you mentioned about the Help menu.

I've searched high & low for info on this - maybe not searching in the right place.... Or maybe everyone knows this but me!!!

Thanks, Rob

Okay, tried copying the help as you mentioned - that worked. Was not able to get the preferences to work though. What I´m looking for is a way to disable or remove the Preferences item from the Filemaker Pro menu. I´ve tried setting the account privileges to "Minimum" menus, but that seems to screw up my custom menus.....

I did a search via Google on this & came up with nothing. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

Rob

Hello,

I have also the same problem. I wish to replace the "Filemaker Pro" menu with the name of my application. Duplicating the default Filemaker Pro menu don't work as the "Override Title" is grayed out...

Thanks for your help

Actually I have noticed that it is a Mac Specific Problem.

If you launch the file attached under a windows system, the Filemaker Pro and Help menus are not there, but if you launch it under Mac OS X, those two menus are there even if they are note defined in the menu set

Is there a workaround ?

Ok bad news. According to Geof Coffey from http://sixfriedrice.com/ it is a limitation of custom menus on mac os X. So it seems that we will have to live with it...
