A5 Email - Hiding the A5 Toolbar

[preston2]

Ok, another one I cannot find where to change the settings.

When using the built in email how in the heck do you hide or edit the toolbar? The menu is fine but the toolbar just allows too much Alpha 5 information and options.

So how do you hide or edit this?

(Please specify what is too much...)
Perhaps you need a different choice to start from..

From what I see you circled the menu. What does the toolbar (just below the menu) do that the menu doesn't.

I'm wondering if you have reversed the menu/toolbar concept....

As far as changing those options...... still considering

If Alpha considers this a system menu:

Action Scripting - Read Email. COnverts to inline x-basic as this.

'Default comment text.
DIM nResult AS N
DIM profile AS C
DIM lSilent AS L
DIM lStatusBar AS L
DIM lProgress AS L
DIM lDisplay AS L
DIM filter AS C
DIM lUI AS L

profile = "SCM"
lSilent = .F.
lStatusbar = .T.
lProgress = .T.
lDisplay = .T.
lUI = .F.
filter = ""

nResult = email_pop_retr_ui(profile, "", lDisplay, lUI, filter, lProgress, lStatusbar, "", lSilent)

At minimum.




If A5 does consider this a system toolbar I cannot find where to edit it or disable it when the email reader is open.

I know Alpha 5 is proud of their stuff but I do not want my end users messing with things they should not.


Edited... Seems what I should be calling them is Menu's and I have still not found any system menus you can edit that have any effect on this.

Re: A5 Email - Hiding the A5 Toolbar

Using A5 Email, how to do display the "Read E-Mail" page that are found in current thread's attachments? Only way I can see how to do it is, open control panel > tools > Email > Read Email. Would like to place a button on form when pressed opens this page.

Have tried the following with no luck:

'Read Email
DIM nResult AS N
DIM profile AS C
DIM lSilent AS L
DIM lStatusBar AS L
DIM lProgress AS L
DIM lDisplay AS L
DIM filter AS C
DIM lUI AS L

profile = "JBK"
lSilent = .F.
lStatusbar = .T.
lProgress = .T.
lDisplay = .T.
lUI = .F.
filter = ""

nResult = email_pop_retr_ui(profile, "", lDisplay, lUI, filter, lProgress, lStatusbar, "", lSilent)

Re: A5 Email - Hiding the A5 Toolbar

Figured it out: "email_reader_open()"

I too also find some of the toolbars and menu items unnecessary in A5 email. I would like to change/modify as needed. Any and all help is appreciated...

Re: A5 Email - Hiding the A5 Toolbar

Have you tried;
Form
..Properties
....Window
.......System Menu?

Make sure you have a way back in if you try this.

Re: A5 Email - Hiding the A5 Toolbar

Thanks Ted for your reply. I don't see how when opening A5's Email, that there is a way to get into the Form properties. I have tried to modify the menus and toolbars by reading the information found in the above wiki link (http://wiki.alphasoftware.com/Editing+System+Menus) with no luck. Wish there was a way to modify the menu and toolbar. Alot of unnecessary items found in these two. Thanks

I killed every system menu you could edit and it still shows up on the built in email. Pretty much makes it useless for a distributed app in my opinion. As far as I have found there is absolutely no way to edit the email form system menu from the control panel.

Re: A5 Email - Hiding the A5 Toolbar

Bummer.... I couldn't agree with you more. End user doesn't need and won't use 90% of the items found in the menus and toolbars in A5 Email.

Maybe a good suggestion to add to the "Wish List" to give use more control of the menu and toolbar.... JON

I can't look any more today, but will tomorrow.
You could always use the Default mail.

Yes you could use the default mail client on your computer. However a lot of shops in the industry my app is targeted for use Gmail only and have no email client on their computers. I think it is stupid for any company to use a freebie email account but that is what a lot of them do so they can access their email from anywhere.

Re: A5 Email - Hiding the A5 Toolbar

Nope I have failed (maybe).
Smallest finger in the post. (possibly).
You looked at the Gmail setting didn't you?
There do not appear to be any options that I can find at the moment. But a few home brews and who knows?
