InfoPath Dev

Hi All,

I am using the InfoPath OnLoad event for disabling certain menus.

Ideally i would like to re enable these menus when the user closes the
form. As there is no OnClose event i looked at the _Shutdown event.

I would like to understand why the _Shutdown event cannot be used for
such processing?

many thanks
Scott

I'm not sure that there is a good place for you to do this. As you state there is no OnClose, or OnExit or anything like it.

ONE possibility is to have a close button on your form. And in the code for that button you perform your tasks. If you have a way to lock down the application from being shut down in any other way, then this would make sense. Otherwise, they can still bypass the button.

Thanks Greg.

Unfortunatly i cannot place a close button on the form.

For the time being the solution is going to be - using the OnLoad event, all menus will be enabled. Then appropriate menus will be disabled. I know this is not the nicest solution. but it will have to do for the this iteration.
