Purpose

APPLICATION.ABOUTBOX allows you to specify an 'About Box' for the application.  
 

Syntax

APPLICATION.ABOUTBOX=global-screen-function-name,sub-menu-text
 

Operation

global-screen-function-name is the name of the Global Screen function that is invoked when the user selects the Help menu text specified in the second parameter.

Sub-menu-text is the item added into the Windows Client Help menu. The maximum length is 20 characters. Characters exceeding this length will be truncated.  Selection of this item will invoke the PROIV Function named as the first parameter.
 

Remarks

The function, which displays the About Box will be a Global Screen function that can be called automatically by PROIV. The function is invoked from a sub-menu item in the Windows Client Help menu. The text of the sub-menu item is specified in the call.

If the function is not a Global Screen function or there is no connection to the kernel, it will be ignored.  

The developer must supply an 'OK' (or similar) to dismiss the screen.  

Since the executions of Report/Updates are modal, it is not possible to call the Global screen from reports.   

The logic statement may be written in both upper and lower case or in mixed case.
 

Example

Application.AboutBox="APP_ABOUT_BOX,About My App"
