For those of you who were at my discussion table at the conference on Sunday night, below is the code that I helped Robert Scott create. I promised I would post it up once I got back to the office so here it is.

What it does is create a custom menu bar at the Top of the Sesame window that is labeled Custom and has a choice of Toggle Table View, which toggles the current form in and out of Table View in Search/Update mode. Note: This is 2.0 only code and will not work in the 1.X series of Sesame.

Function AddQuotes(vVal as String) as String
Var VReturn as String
Var vQuote as Char

	vQuote = @Chr(34)
	vReturn = vQuote + vVal + vQuote
	Return(vReturn)
End Function

AddCommandToMenuBar("Custom/Toggle Table View", "", "GlobalValue(" + AddQuotes("Fake") + ", @SelectTreeItem(" + AddQuotes("Search Update Menu!Other Commands!Toggle Table View (Shift-F6)") + "))")

I played with this a bit, and found that we don't need the user defined function to make this work. (I'm sure Ray knew that already, but maybe he just found it easier to do it that way; especially with a crowd of people sitting around him, watching while he built this. We all know how difficult it can be to write code when someone is watching what you're doing. )

Without the function, it can all be done in one line of code. (I wish I could also eliminate the need for the global value too, but I couldn't.) The following sample reduces the code to one line, and only requires one mouse click to toggle between modes.

AddCommandToMenuBar("Toggle Table View", "", "GlobalValue(" + @Chr(34) + "Fake" + @Chr(34) + ", @SelectTreeItem(" + @Chr(34) + "Search Update Menu!Other Commands!Toggle Table View (Shift-F6)" + @Chr(34) + "))" )
 

For those who were not at that session (including me):

It should also be pointed out that this code needs to be installed in the Application Property Manager / Program Application section.

Also note, that "&" Hot Keys are not currently working on Menu Bars.
