Explorer popup menu question

rbuser

I would like to add an entry to the report explorer's popup menu, I have
successfully used the merge menu for the main menu. I realise I could follow
the custom explorer route but this seems more work than the feature I
require is worth. Is it possible to add custom entries on the explorer
'right click' popup menu?

Thanks in advance

BTW Report Builder is a truly fantastic product.

You could do that if you wanted to. However, you will have to do this
everytime you upgrade RB. By using the designed merge menu property, you
can eliminate this hassle. Open ppExpFrm.pas and access the menu component.
Recompile with RBuilder/Source in your library path for your project.

Thanks Jim,

I have used the merge menu for additional main menu items and it works very
well however is there a way to merge menu items with the popup menu,
Otherwise I'll have to modify the source as you suggest. As I am expecting
to upgrade to V7 very shortly I dont wish to go that route unless I have to.

I must be losing it. Don't modify the source to the report explorer form.
Register a replacement. All forms in RB are replaceable. Create a custom
report explorer form as shown in the Custom Report Explorer tutorial. You
can register the replacement form with the new popup menu.
