GalainHH Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hello, with FM 10 the User can modify the Status Area and there´s nothing you can do to control this, except locking the Status area completely In our solution, adding a new record is made by a Button, trigerring a script, that is filling some data in special fields. As mentioned, we can lock the Status Area in browse mode. But in search mode? In search mode, you can´t lock the status area because the user should be able to do a search by omitting records! In our solution, we need the ability to control the search. In FM 9 we had 2 buttons: Search = Entering search mode and fill some values in certain fields Extend Search = New request and fill some values in certain fields In FM 10 our buttons are still there, but in the status area is a nice new button "New Request", that will bypass our skript that fills some values in certain fields is there a way to block the button "New Request" or is there a search operator for omitting?

GalainHH Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think I found a solution: Installig a custom "requests"- menu, where the "New Request" command is missing. Than the corresponding button in the status area is grey and no longer active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven H.

Please see the post I made Monday on this topic. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlemmnapa Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just turn it off in Find mode (an everywhere else) and develop your own UI or use a custom menu (as I have done). The new status area in 10 is nothing but trouble. -Mark Lemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
