changing title of the main window (menu suite)

schpidi

hi all,

we are using nav 5.0 SP1 and now I want to change the title of the main window dynamically during login.

Is there a command or global property to change this?

In previous versions this was possible, but I don´t know enough about the new objects of type "menue suites"

Thanks & Kind Regards,
schpidi

sorry, there is no way for the Menu Suite. the MS are stored separetly as BLOB in the table Objects.
But why do you need this? you can create new MS / Menus and it's possible to assign users the the menus.

the reason is our backup and test database strategy.

we make an sql server based backup of the database each night and i restore it with a different name like "Previous Day Backup".
this database is supposed to be the testing database for our users.

advantage is, that they always have fresh data (nearly the real data)

disadvantage is, that they do not see after the login,
if they are on the productive or testing (previous day backup) database.
therefore i wanted to put the name of the database in the title...
or maybe change the colour of the menu to red or grey or whatever

i don´t want to use a separate company for the testing issues,
because then we always have to be aware of fresh and realistic test data.

thanks,
schpidi

Hi,

This has been discussed before but solved a different way. The basis is to design a form which shows the details and colour-codes if needed. You can then call this form from codeunit 1 in the companyopen trigger - This could even be Garak solution

Have a search and you will see a more indepth discussion.

Note he mentions a problem about the form closing but if you go back to waldo's post & read the comments - there is a solution at the bottom.
