If you use Andrew Ross McNeil's genmenux, you can actually remove menu items if the user does not have sufficient permission to access a particular application function. Instead of using the skip for, you put an expression in the comment for the menu item. For example, let's say you have a menu option to manage your users but only admins should be able to access it. In the comment, you would put something like this:
*:IF MyPermissionFunction([userID]) If your MyPermissionFunction does not return the appropriate value (typically boolean), the menu item is removed before the menu is even displayed. The magic is the *: as far as genmenux is concerned. There are a whole bunch of directives in addition to the *:IF. rk -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 10:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: A Menu Utility to Limit Access... Hello folks, Now - within the Menu Designer you have the Options for each menu item - and there is the "Skip For" option within the Prompt Options. As of right now I am calling a procedure from the Skip For option to tell FoxPro when to Skip (i.e. Not Allow access to a particular menu option). _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/df1eef11e586a64fb54a97f22a8bd044065519e...@ackbwddqh1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
