Hello Everyone,

I was just looking at an audit program someone posted here from nightwing.com.au and at the top of the toolbar, there is a text link for “Nightwing”. I did not see any program on their site which would allow this feature.

How did they get that there? I’ve looked over the custom menu section, but am unable to see any method for inserting an item such as this.

Hi James, and Welcome to the Forum.

Are you talking about the "About" Script?

If so, then it is just opening a second layout. If not, let us know what it is really doing, and also the name of Demo (i.e. Audit Tracking System) and the database file name (i.e. AuditTracker.fp7).

Hi Lee,

No, this was actually part of the top toolbar: file, edit, view insert etc.

Here is a screenshot: Screenshot Here

The audit trail is called Supe Log System.

Thanks,

James

File > Define > Custom Menus...

(available in Pro Advanced ... which your profile says you have)

Stuart,

I have poked every button in the CM but am unable to add anything like that to the toolbar.

What am I doing wrong?

Actually, NightWing has renamed their script menu to NightWing all the way back through vs. 6. It's done with FM Advanced (the old Developer) in the Developer Utilities. :wink2:

Hi LaRetta,

Your right of course ... the developer utility does also let you rename the "scripts" menu option.

What are you trying to achieve here ... surely with custom menu's in the Advanced version that you are running you have much more flexibility and can rename/customise any menus you like (exept the "FileMaker Pro" option)

Plus you can easily do this with Custom Menus... in Advanced

Example Attached for you to poke around in...

CustomMenu.fp7.zip

Hi Stuart, Yep. I just wanted to be sure people knew they could rename ScriptMaker anything they like - even before Custom Menus in vs. 8 - that's where this trick came from and why Ray's vs. 6 demos also have ScriptMaker name changed. So even with vs. 6 or 7, this one option is available to them. :wink2:

Hi LaRetta,

Sorry that wasn't aimed at you ... its good advice for the wider community.

X Abn Ranger as you are running 8.5 Advanced i would expect that you would benefit from the power of custom menu's so i posted a little example.

If youve got it flaunt it I say :o

Well Stuart, you only need to say it once. ROFLAMO!

Understood. I just wanted everyone to know that, in Ray's demo, it wasn't done with Custom Menus. In fact, it shows nothing in Custom Menus for [scripts] on them; it might be confusing if someone thought Custom Menus handled it instead of Advanced. Custom Functions is surely the way to go now!

UPDATE: I deleted your extra post for you. ^)

Hi Stuart,

Lee

The greatest developement challange is that of the developement of the Developer. hehe :o
