Viewing Layout Menu on Status Area

[kenneth2k1]

I'm sure I have been told somewhere before, but I forgot how to get rid of the layout menu that is located in the Status Area on the left. Can someone refresh my memory of where I go so it cannot be viewed?

Thanks

You can't get rid of the menu, but you can set layouts not to appear in it using the "Layout Order" dialog.

Or you could just get rid of the Status Area.

Thanks for the replies. I actually had one design that I took out the status area, and ended up making buttons for the scroll up/down records. Then I realized that I wanted the "Omit" and Symbol functions and such when I was in Find Mode. So I started scripting these buttons and found myself whasting alot of time. I figured "why am I re-inventing the wheel?" So I ended up just putting the status area back.

Thanks, I will just remove the layouts from view.

You could create your own Find button that ran a script which:

SetErrorCapture [On]

Toggle Status Area [show]

Enter Find Mode [Pause]

Perform Find []

if[status(CurrentError) = 401]

. Show Message["No records match this request"]

. Show All Records

End If

Toggle Status Area [Hide]

This will allow your users full access to the Find Symbols, the Omit function and the ability to create new Find Requests, but only show the status area when they are in the Find Mode.
