Michael Reade Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hi, I'm trying to disable the New Window menu item by creating a new custom menu, but I can't seem to add a Window Menu Item... Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 If you start with a new custom menu, you can choose FileMaker commands. To make it easier on you can sort by the "appears on" column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Check out this site Link and do a search for [color:blue]Developer Tips, there are two Development Time Savers and Using Developer Controls that show some thing that you can do. You have to have the Developer Edition of FileMaker, and you have to join ISO FileMaker Magazine to see the full versions of most of his good stuff. It isn't that expensive to join though.

Michael Reade Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 What I'd like to do is either: 1) Duplicate the Window menu, then remove the menu item New Window; or 2) Create a new Window menu from scratch, adding all the submenus except for the New Window. First option fails because I can't duplicate the Window menu. Is it just me? (I can't seem to duplicate Format either, as it the case of all menus that come within square brackets.) Second option fails because while I can create a menu called Window, I can't add all the nice submenus I'd like to. So I am at a bit of a loss...

mr_vodka Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I am not sure why this is confusing. Here is an example. CustomMenu_Window.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Michael, I feel your pain. Presently with FMP's custom menus, there is no way to reproduce the list of all open windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Reade Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 MrVodka, it works. Thanks. So it appears that you can't start with a Window menu. You created a custom menu, and then added commands. I was trying to add submenus, instead. Again, thanks for the help. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
