I've just started working with the new button menus, with 2.5, and have a few questions. I did a search on some of these but the results are numerous, so if any of these have been discussed before a link to the previous discussion would be helpful.
* Can new buttons be added, or existing ones removed? If so, where can I find instructions on the procedure?
The buttons can be hidden using @HideTreeItem for the corresponding tree item. See the documentation for the button menus for a list.
You can't just add your own buttons to ours. You need to make a menu form or other such technique.
Quote:* Is it possible for the initial "database open" button to open in Add Mode instead of Search?
No, you need to program your own form buttons for that.
Quote:* Is it possible to reprogram the Search Menu button "Add New Records" so that it opens an Add tab instead of closing search? All of my users work in both Add and Search simultaneously, so switching is problematical, and the alternative of "opening a new tab" and then switching it to the other mode in that tab, well, I'll hear complaints about that whole process, "too many clicks" or somesuch.
Again, you can't reprogram the built-in menu buttons, but you can place your own buttons on your forms that do whatever you want.
