Application

[James Peterson]

In writing an application in A5V4 we want to eliminate the ability of users to access the regular Alpha Menu System. Can this be done without purchasing the runtime version?

You can hide the control panel with the method :controlpanel.hide() placed in a script called autoexec. Autoexec scripts are played whenever A5 is opened. But, before doing this create a way to get the control panel back with the method :controlpanel.show(). I place this on a hidden, password protected button on my opening form. You can also create custom menus and toolbars to replace the default ones. In short, you can control access to just about every part of your application and limit the users options. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the help! I can see what I will be doing this weekend.
