Custom Menu

[George]

I created a Global Menu and it works good - only thing I noticed is that I
can't get rid of the "Type a Question for Help" window at the top of the
screen. Can it be removed / blocked ?

Also I can't seem to get rid of the "Minimize - Maximize - Close" option on
the main screen top right corner above the "Type a Question for Help" window
- The screens I created I set the Control box property to "No" and that
works, can that be removed / blocked ?

Thanks - George

To hide the 'Type a Question' box:
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
On the menu bar, right-click the Type a question for help box.
Select or deselect Show Ask A Question Box to show or hide it.
Note: If you are hiding the Type a question for help box, it will still
display until after you close the Customize dialog box.

With regard to the Minimize/Maximize/Close boxes on the main screen, you can
either intercept the events or you can disable them. You can use an API to do
this. Which do you want to do?

There may be a method using an API to remove these boxes but I am not aware
of it.

Steve - Your suggestion worked for the Type a question help box - as far as
the
Minimize/Maximize/Close boxes on the main screen it sounds like disable is
the easiest method - my skills are limited.

Thanks
