I want to make buttons that perform F11 and Shift-F11.  Is there a way to test if the Buffer has certain content before allowing the Paste button to paste?  I don't want anyone trying to paste Workorder form data into the Invoice form, and so on.

Also, once these buttons are created I would like to remove the F11 key's functionality, that is, to make the F11 operation only run from the buttons, not the keyboard.  Is this possible?

Thank you Erika, but you give me too much credit.  My skills with ClientLocalValue and XResultSet are woefully lacking.

Thing is, I have only one user who uses F11 and its variations, and then only with a single form.  The button for the F11 function is easy.  The Shift-F11 button also includes CLEAR()ing of several values that I don't want transplanted.  Other than that, all is fair game.

If I place the buttons on that single form, use IgnoreKey to kill F11, and then use @HideTreeItem for all the F11 variations, I'm in the clear.  So far the buttons work, IgnoreKey also works, but the following is NOT working:

Var vHideTreeItem as Int
// Hides "Copy Forms" and "Paste Forms" command tree items
vHideTreeItem = @HideTreeItem("Add Data Menu!Edit Commands!Copy Forms to Buffer (Alt-F11)")
vHideTreeItem = @HideTreeItem("Add Data Menu!Edit Commands!Paste Buffer to Forms (Alt-Shift-F11)")
vHideTreeItem = @HideTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Edit Commands!Copy Forms to Buffer (Alt-F11)")
vHideTreeItem = @HideTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Edit Commands!Paste Buffer to Forms (Alt-Shift-F11)") 

I'm putting this in the application programming, on-application-open, with no success.  I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, though the Program Editor tests it OK.  Do I need to specify a path to every form and mode?  The example in the book is a little confusing as it doesn't directly relate to what I want to do.

Thanks for your help.

D'oh!  Of course.  Thank you.

The tree is correct. We'll update the List Browser. Thanks for reporting this!

Is this correct to disable the 4 states of F11?

Application on-application-open event

// Disables the F11 Key functions for non-admins
IF NOT @Group = "Admin"
THEN
	{
	IgnoreKey(KEYCODE_F11, 0)
	IgnoreKey(KEYCODE_F11, KEY_STATE_SHIFT)
	IgnoreKey(KEYCODE_F11, KEY_STATE_ALT)
	IgnoreKey(KEYCODE_F11, KEY_STATE_CTRL)
	}
ELSE ClearIgnoreKey(KEYCODE_F11)
