Problem with window in window

Gnovald

Hi all!

A whole different kind of question than the usuall Navision related question!

Does anyone knows if there is a way to access the system meny within the main Navision window? The system meny is the menu under the small program icon in the top-left corner of any main program window. But there is also a system menu on each and aeveryone of the individual windows, or panes, inside the main window. You can access the system menu with the keyboard shortcut ALT+SPACE keys. But this will only work in the main program window!!!

In Navision I have a couple of times had a customer that has messed up the posision of the different windows inside the main Navision window. For an exemple the Main Menu window - when that is not maximized, sometimes the blue titlelist is hidden under the menu section of the main window. So the customer can't reach the titlelist with the cursor and then move the window.

The only solution so far is to delete the SUP file, but that is not an option in every case!

Anyone has another solution, or have the shortcut key combination!

Gnovald,

On the form properties:


[AutoPosition]: CenterScreen

Or set the location in design and change...

[SavePosAndSize]: No

(Although I'm not sure on the latter half)



Basically your coworker or whomever can just hit Escape if he is unable to view the form any longer, trigger it to re-open, and he should see the form again.

ALT + - (hold down left ALT and the minus key at the same time)
ALT space (hold down left ALT and the SPACE key at the same time)

garak

use ALT and Minus for moving the navision form.
use Alt and Space to move the Navision Application form.
