SET ABOUT 


 

SET ABOUT ( itemText ; method ) 
Parameter Type   Description
itemText  String in New About menu item text
method  String in Name of method to execute when menu item is chosen

The SET ABOUT command changes the About 4D menu command in the Help (Windows) or in the Application (Mac OS X) menu to itemText.

After the call, when a user selects this menu command in Design or Application mode, method will be called. Typically, this method can open a dialog box to give version information about your database.

This command is used with 4D (all modes), 4D Desktop and 4D Server. A new process is created when it is run on a server machine.

The following example replaces the About menu command with the About Scheduler menu command. The ABOUT method displays a custom About box:

 SET ABOUT("About Scheduler…";"ABOUT")

The following example resets the About 4D menu command:

 SET ABOUT("About 4D";"")
