Customizing About, Help, and
Scripts menus
You can customize the menu bar in your database solution to display
a custom script as a menu command in the Help menu or Application
menu (Mac
OS X), or to display a custom name for the Scripts menu.
The custom settings are stored in the primary file of your solution.
Adding custom scripts to the About menu command
Use the Developer Utilities to add a custom script to the About menu
command for your database solution or your runtime solution. The
custom script will bring the user to the About layout that describes
your solution and provides users necessary information about it.
When the Developer Utilities process your database files, they create
a menu command named “About <your solution>” and place it in the
Help menu (Windows) or Application menu (Mac
OS X). For more
information, see
“Creating an About layout” on page 33.
In runtime applications, the custom About command replaces the
About FileMaker Pro Runtime command. If you don’t specify an
About script when you bind your files into a runtime database
solution, an
About FileMaker Pro Runtime menu command is added to
the Help menu (Windows) or Application menu (Mac
OS X) in the
runtime application.
