Using VIP open your function and click on the drop down menu maintenance button. There are various options there to define the drop down menu. I'd recommend using a "hot key" - that way the menu can be accessed by both mouse and keyboard. Pre-cede the chosen letter with an "&". You'll need to assign a function key that isn't used elsewhere in the function. You have a choice of actions to take.
Hope that's enough for you to get going with.

Haven't had that requirement thrown my way yet. Do you mean an Active X control ?

Sorry, my post wasn't very clear.
And yeah i mean ActiveX Control
I want to maintain the dropdowns dynamically depending on user acess or allow users to maintain those dopr downs themselves. From my understanding its not possible as its considered to be static within VIP.

If the selection of various user defined or user determined items doesn't have to be a drop down then you could use a list box (obviously). There may be other Active X components you could use (like tree structure selection). Let us know if you find a solution or an Active X component that satisfied your needs.
I've seen, in a demo of a Pro IV customer system by Neil Holmes, where an Active X Flash component was used for tabs that scrolled, so there may be something out there you can use.

Hi all,
We created an ActiveX menu (written in VB) that uses a tree list with two panes for recently used options and another for favourites.
Our system is also split into several modules each represented by an icon.
Users only see the options they have access to.
By the way, it's not a drop down menu.

If the standard pro-iv dropdown with a select window would do the trick,
(unless I misunderstand what you mean by drop-down), then this is populated by a pro-iv ls in select mode.
And in that ls in select mode, you can use a sort-select to control what data you return to the list, so it can be
populated on the fly, by each user.

Hi pramodtripathi,
I once did a similar task that was for a Year/Month selection of records. It only listed valid Years in the DB, in the year CB's, and had intuitive programing behind the month fields. For example, if the FROM/TO years were the same and the FROM month was June, the TO month CB would only list June to December. If the years were different, both CB's would list all 12 months.
This is done by creating a local LS for the CB's, clearing down the array variable on Entry Logic, and then rebuilding the array variables with the valid entries and setting MAX-PAGE to the COUNT, of record, you are on.
This ability took about 15 minutes longer to write than it would've taken to display all months all the time and then do a check on validity after the user has made a selection. The client really liked this because it was now impossible to make an incorrect selection range and eliminated the need to display an error message to the user. This was done in VIP, so I don't know if this will work on the version you are running. But in VIP, I was able to create a simple screen that showed the client that ProIV had the ability to display dynamic CB's that changed based upon previous entries.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
sorry for the delay I have been away. Please see the attached screen shot.
The left hand side is a bit like outlook in that if a user clicks on a module, Cash, confs, SIC... then a few options become available Work, Enquiry, Maintenance...
The centre pane shows a tree display of the options available to the user.
Right hand side shows a recent list and favourites and a search button to allow the user to look for a partial string in the menu info.
regards

Pro IV have a Menu Tool apparently (which help menus to look like a web page). I don't know if there's an associated charge. Contact your Pro IV account manager for more information.
