Title:
Coordinating Report Designer and Menu System
Hi,
I desperately need help on following problem:
In my application user is able to modify report using a build-in report
designer.
In old FPW it was easy: just using a command MODIFY REPORT xxx solved all
problems. An Report Designer was launched together with its Toobar and two
additional Menu Pads: REPORT and OBJECT, where all necessary functions where
contained.
Now in VFP5 the things appeared to be more difficult and following problems
appear:
1. All necessary functions are scattered in 4 Menu Pads REPORT, FORMAT,
FILE and VIEW, the last two of them come not automatically with MODIFY
REPORT Command.
This can be solved by following code:
PUSH MENU _MSYSMENU
SET SYSMENU TO _MSM_FILE, _MSM_VIEW,_MSM_EDIT
MODIFY REPORT xxxx
POP MENU _MSYSMENU
2. Toolbars are closable and there positions and appearance are saved in
Foxuser.dbf.
Therefore use can close e.g. Report Controls Toolbar and it will not appear
the next time when report will be modified. Toolbars can be enabled in VIEW
Menu and it works when running the app from VPF environment, but in
standalone EXE this Menu appears EMPTY!
3. Menu Popups REPORT and FILE contain undesirable items. How to remove
them?
