Special menus in Sesame

Print Post Print Post  
Q&A allowed you to set it up so that only certain options appeared on the screen when someone used it. 

I assume the Sesame has a feature that allows me to create a special menu for the user that
1. removes the main menu and options at the top of the page, and
2. only shows "button" that I create and program. 

I can't seem to find this in the user manuals.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Yes it will allow you to create customized menu's but I don't believe you can get rid of the menu's at the top, you can hide the menu's in the left side pane. Do a search on here for custom menus, several months back there was alot of discussion on it, also insidesesame has a 2-edition special article on creating them.
Look at this, if shortcut don't work its in archived, on page 1 "Custom Menus"

These steps can help.....

You can start Sesame with the -closed switch.
------------------
Design a Menu Form. 
No elements bound to any fields.
Set NotifyForm(1) when opening form
Add a button to Toggle the Menu Tree view.
----------------
In your application programming:
Immediately open the Menu form in the Add Record mode
Make the Menu Form in the Add Records the DefaultTab.
--------------

Bob,

FYI, in case you hadn't thought of it this way...

If you open the custom Menu Form in Search mode, you won't need to use NotifyForm(1) to prevent saving. And since there are no records to be found in the Menu DB, the use can't get to extend mode and add records either. This works because Command Buttons will still work in Search mode.

This is the way I have been using my custom menus, and it has worked very well so far.

EDIT:
Come to think of it, you are probably safer to use NotifyForm() anyway, just in case someone navigates to the Add mode via the command tree.

Funny edit Carl (to me only). Grin

I initially started last year using Search/Update mode for menus and then I went to Add.

I don't recall why, but it had something to do with the Sesame Menu Tree, being on the "Retrieve Spec" Screen, and auto Add after retrieving all records. 

I think I switched when NotifyForm() came around.  Made me feel more secure.  Actually if no fields are bound, I don't think a record would be saved in either mode.   Now, as in Q&A, I don't remember why I do some things, they are starting to become work habits.
