Greyout MenuBar Items Example

April 9, 200718 yr

Here is an example file that may allow a little control over greying out some MenuBar items...

With a bit of thought may go some way to allow control over field only scripts, found set only scripts, form only scripts, list only scripts, privilege based locking, etc...

Enjoy :(

ooops ... The find one is wrong and should have been replaced with Sidebar locking

Thanks Genx, Here is a draft reference to the Behavior of the FileMaker Commands to make this a workable tool.

Please post any errors of corrections ... there are 90 ... Privileges may be a bit sloppy.

Best Stuart

Hey Stuart,

Very nice piece of work! I've no doubt it will help a lot of people! Thank you for sharing this with everyone! :smile2:

Thanks LaRetta,

It was one of those Eurika/Yippee moments

One really interesting aspect of this is the fact that it removes the need for "if" or privilege testing within certain scripts as these are simply disabled with the privilege set that is in use (if the buttons do not appear on your layouts of course).

Best,

Stuart
