On Application Open event...not working? (Read 958 times)

	Time to cry uncle! I have a simple menu created as a front end for three smal databases. When a user opens the menu I just want the menu to appear...in other words I want to completey eliminate the menu tree structure altogether. To do this I have added and tested (the test posts no errors) the following code in the Application Property Manager as described on page 15 of the Sesame Programming Guide. �(I have also searched this forum for topics to this end and it appears that others have been able to make this work): Code: var N as Int n = @SelectTreeItem("MENU!Forms!Search/Update!MENU!MENU!") Can anyone please lend this stranded sojourner a hand? Thank you... Cliff

	Hello Cliff, Is your application title 'Menu'? The application title is the top line in the menu tree when you are looking at the application menu. Also you have an extra ! at the end, you do not need it there. -Ray

	Yes the application name is Menu. I removed the last "!" and retested...same results. I don't know if I am confusing terms or whatever but the desired end is that a user would open Sesame, select the application file to open and upon doing so be immediately presented with the menu. As it remains the user must select from among a host of items that they are not familiar with in the menu tree. You probably understood me in this...however, I am just not sure I communicated this very well... Again...Thanks...

	Hi Ray: Newbie that I am I "ripped off" and tweaked the following code from "DesignTips" and we seem to be good to go for now...unless you have any concerns about the efficiency of this... Thanks again for your help... Cliff Var vTree as INT var vHideTree as INT // Hide all Tree Items at the Application Menu Level vHideTree = @HideTreeItem("MENU! Forms") vHideTree = @HideTreeItem("MENU!Application Utilities") // Open Main Menu vTree = @SelectTreeItem("MENU!Forms!Add Data!MENU!MENU") SetDefaultTab("Add Data MENU")

	Cliff, You might consider using CloseCommandArea to hide the command tree (and specs window). If you do, remember to put code in to toggle the command area on a button, so the users can, if they want to, get to the command tree and specs.

	If you decide to follow Mark's suggestion, this is how it's done. In the On Application Open event: Code var Success as Int Success = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!Menu!Menu") SetDefaultTab("Search/Update Menu") AddToTranslationTable("Search/Update Menu", "Main Menu") CloseCommandArea(1) In the On Element Entry event for a command button used to toggle the command area, located on the menu form: Code If @CloseCommandArea() = 1 CloseCommandArea(0) Else CloseCommandArea(1)
