Hi all.

I've created a new entity, lets say its called Invoice. So, I have an Invoice MainView, DetailsView, etc. I need to change the edit menu functionality for this entity. Deletion should be allowed only for certain users, and the system should display a confirm dialog prior to beginning the deletion routine.

I've been taking a look at global functions, but I'm not sure if this is the way to go or not.

How do I do this? Any tips or ideas will be highly appreciated.

We put a button on the detail form....only make it visible for certain users....

OR

Have a menu item that calls a deletion script with your confirmation script, etc. only release the menu item to certain users or teams.

Edits? We have a custom script that walks the Form's controls collection and sets buttons and TEXT to readonly or invisible. Their are several examples of how to do that up here.....

Now, I don't have SLX 7.0 around, but I do know that Custom Entity security (Add/Delete) can be set under Feature Security for each user. (I know for sure this is on 7.2 and up, but you take a look on 7.0)
