I don't think there is a need to add any custom code as the code that is currently attached to those menus are tested to be fully functional. I just wanted to query their DB to locate all the forms they had those menus and icons on the menu bar so I could document all the forms that would need the attention of the developers to change those to buttons or navigation items.
While your def file converter seems like a useful tool that I could suggest to them after documenting the lists, right now I was primarily interested in querying and documenting them as "risk items" that would need some alteration so that the overall functionality of their current apps remain the same post upgrade.

Hi, Yes, you need to move it around and resize it as appropriate. You need not run it on their machines. It works on def-files and can be run anywhere. If you do not import the resulting def, nothing can happen. It converts everything, so I do not know the end result. I suspect that BMC has no Base Mode buttons defined as drop-down menus, as they would not work in Mid-Tier. If that is the case, they would only have Custom or Overlay drop-down menus, and you would be fine importing the end result. Come to think of it, it might be that I need to add some kind of property to the Nav-field to put it in the proper Custom mode... Let me know if you need that, and I will look into it. Regardless, use it to do a report of the existing drop-down menus. Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se (ARSList MVP 2011) Ask the Remedy Licensing Experts (Best R.O.I.
