Can I insert C/AL code to selectively restricted the use of the Ctl-F8 “Zoom” key? I want to restrict certain users from using Ctl-F8 key a specific form. Notwithstanding that, can I restrict a user from using the Ctl-F8 function key on ALL forms? Thx Ron
As for completely preventing a User from using the Zoom functionality, this is possible. It is a matter of permissions. There is a System object - 5330 Tools, Zoom - which controls the access of User Groups to this tool. If a User does not belong to a Role with permission to access this Object, he will not be able to use the Zoom window - it will be disabled. On your original question, there is no way to deny Zoom access on a selective basis. It is an Application wide setting controled only by permissions. Unless there is someone really clever [;)] out there who can show us how… [:0]
Actually Nelson, it can be done (so does that mean I am someone really clever[:I]), but it is not straight forward. Also it is table dependant, not form, since the Ctrl+F8 goes straight to the Table with no reference to the Form. All you need is a field in the table with a caption class. When you zoom on the table, a call is made to codeunit 1, and you can add code in here to prevent the field from displaying. I suggest to create your own field, “CheckForF8” and modify Codeunit 1 CaptionClassTranslate(Language : Integer;CaptionExpr : Text[80]) : Text[80] CommaPosition := STRPOS(CaptionExpr,','); IF (CommaPosition > 0) THEN BEGIN CaptionArea := COPYSTR(CaptionExpr,1,CommaPosition - 1); CaptionRef := COPYSTR(CaptionExpr,CommaPosition + 1); CASE CaptionArea OF '1' : EXIT(DimCaptionClassTranslate(Language,CaptionRef)); '2' : EXIT(VATCaptionClassTranslate(Language,CaptionRef)); //>> Start Zoom check '50000' : RunCtrlF8Check(CaptionRef); END; END; EXIT(''); Then just pass a paramater like ‘50000,27’ to the CaptiionClassParamater. THe code will be called on Zoom, or Table Run from the designer. You can prevent a super user from viewing a table like this. THis is really a Tips and Tricks Item, and you can use it for lots of things, like high level table security. Hope it helps, let me know.
So, David, where can I send you the cigar?
Cigar … Lets make it a bottle of fine Porto, and we can share it watching a sun set one evening [:)]
I’m afraid I’m not a wine guy myself - I prefer Weissbier…[:D] But anyway, it’s a deal if you ever come visit. Humm, this reminds me I haven’t yet voted on the beer thread!!! [8D]
David, Can you explain further how to implement this please? Thanks.
On a form you can achieve this by adding a Menu Button Item with Ctrl+F8 as ShortCutKey. If you don’t assign any Action or Code to that menu item nothing will happen when Ctrl+F8 is pressed. Am I clever too? [:D]

You are a genius [:D] Only thing is, this disables it for all users. Then youl’d have to disable the button for users that are allowed to zoom.[:I] (Groeten aan Tino[8D])
Lloyd, What is the part in David’s explanation that you do not understand?

Uh. It could work. If users can’t work with the menu. [:D] You can zoom if you go to Extra, Zoom in the menu…

Ben benieuwd of ie ze doorgeeft…
Not sure why this got bumped up? But, the ctrl+f* thing does not work, since you can just use the mouse or navigate the menu to get to the Zoom. [V]
Hi David,
What is RunCtrlF8check(Caption Ref) Function.
