How to Disable Zoom (Ctrl+F8) from a form

Grant

I've seen a few posts where it says that it is impossible to disable the ZOOM feature, Ctrl+F8, from a form in Navision without disabling the ZOOM privileges for all forms. But - there is a way to do it, quite simple really.

Just add a new MenuButton to the form, and add a new option. Caption can be anything you want, for example "Disable ShortcutKey". Then define the ShortCutKey to Ctrl+F8, but do not define any lookup action. This will override the default Ctrl+F8 behaviour. What I did is to resize this new MenuButton small enough so I can hide it behind one of the other existing Buttons on the form (use Format->Send to Back to hide it).

you should really have posted it to Tips & Tricks - Perhaps the ADMIN will move it. O:)

It's a simple trick but very effective.

Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat...
Take a look at this alternative:

Besides, your way doesn't stop a User from using the Tools menu and selecting Zoom.
It just prevents the User from calling the Zoom window through its keyboard shortcut.

I would rather disable the user role rights for it - don't exactly remember how, but possible.

Object Type::System and Object ID 5330 in the permissions table controls this feature.

If you use standard Navision Security Roles the Zoom function is only availible for the Role SUPER, so what's the problem?

We are talking about selectively disabling the Tools, Zoom functionality.
Everyone knows it can be disabled globally through Permissions.

Almost no one knows it can also be done on a per-table basis.
Read the thread in my link above to find how it can be achieved.
