Active Windows List on Custom Menu Bar

[swbrodie]

Hello.

I have a custom menu bar, in which I have created a window menu for Tile Horizontally/Vertically, etc. I would also like to include the list of active windows that you get with the default window menu.

I do not want to use the built-in window menu because I do not want users to have all the options such as Hide/Unhide, etc.

Does anyone know how to include this list? I searched and found another post on this topic, but it was never resolved.

Thanks.

Steve

Give this a try.

On the 'Built-in Menus' category in the customise box, drag the Window menu onto your custom menu bar. Then just drag back all the options you don't want your users to have back into the customise box and this will leave the list of active windows.

Let me know how you get on...

Thanks, Andrew.

Unfortunately, doing this modifies the built-in window menu itself, so my default window menu is changed. Then, if I reset my default window menu, the window menu on my custom menu bar is also reset.

Plus, opening the database on another user's machine causes it to view the custom menu bar with their default window menu.

I am guessing that this will have to be done with code somehow.

Any other suggestions?
