Hi,
My app's main menu includes the Foxprow prompt for Window-->View but it is greyed-out (unselectable). Is there a way to make it selectable or is it set this way in the code? I don't see anything in the menu code that prevents it from being selected:

DEFINE BAR _mwi_view OF _mwindow PROMPT "\<View" ;
MESSAGE "Display the View window"

Regards,
Joe

Not all native sysmenu options work (or make sense) in a runtime application.

If memory serves, you're trying to get what today is known as the "Data Session" window and the command for that is SET. So change your menu definition to a result of COMMAND and the command is SET.

Seems like a horribly bad idea to expose this to your end users but it can be done.

That works! Not to worry, the Window dropdown is unavailable to the users.

Regards,
Joe
