Hi,

Does anyone know how to disable to form's default "save" menu option and save prompt under the back key? I need to post the contents of the form to a server, and have no need for saving the form. Additionally, I do not want the back key to prompt the user to save the form.

These defaults are very confusing, and I would appreciate any guidance on disabling them!

Thanks in advance.

Hi mango7,

Yes, you could personalize the menu:

import appuifw

def handle_forms():
    form = appuifw.Form(fields, flags)
    form.menu = [(u"Exit", quit)]
    form.execute()

Also, see what is written on the Library Reference:

menu

A list of (title, callback) pairs, where each pair describes an item in the form’s menu bar that is active while the dialog is being executed. title (Unicode) is the name of the item and callback the associated callable object.

Hope it helps,

Rafael.

Hi Rafael,

Unfortunately, I still get a "save" menu option even after adding my own menu options. Does "save" show up in your menu, or is it completely absent after creating your customized menu?

Thanks

Actually, I did this example without testing, just for showing you it is possible. Although, I'm not sure if you can take out the "Save" option, cause it's a default action of a form

I'll search a bit more and if I find something I'll post it here for you.


BR,

Rafael.
