Menu Editor

Menus are a required point of passage in all professional applications. 4D provides you with a powerful tool that allows putting them into place as easily as possible.

Menus… à la carte!

Define menus in their entirety, as well as their sub-menus, for your application using a single screen for true visibility.

Automations are now on the menu!

Associating any one 27 automatic actions to your menus and submenus requires absolutely no programming. It also allows browsing through records, calling the maintenance center, etc.

If these actions aren’t enough, you can associate your own methods and manage all the aspects of your application development closely.

Create a keyboard shortcut for even greater ease of use.

Manage access securely

Through the use of user and group management, you can set specific permissions for accessing these actions. There’s no complicate programming involved, simply select the group with access to any desired menu or submenu and 4D automatically takes control of this restriction for you.

Styled menus!

Apply standard styles and icons for improved identification of the expressed context.

Designing a toolbar is child’s play: associate a specific icon to your menu so that the action of the latter is available from the toolbar. You’d be hard-pressed to find an easier way!

Menus for every language

4D supports the localization standard xliff* within 4D menu. This allows you to translate your menus in any language supported in your application. The choice of language will be automatically handled by 4D at startup.
