Question: How do I hide (and restore) the main Paradox menu?

Answer: To hide the main Paradox menu, use ObjectPAL to create and display a blank (empty) menu, as shown in the following code sample:

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
Var
   mnuNone  Menu
endVar

   mnuNone.addText( "" )
   mnuNone.show()

endMethod

To later restore the main Paradox menu, use ObjectPAL to:

1. Remove your blank menu.

2. Display the Desktop menu.

The following code sample shows how to do this:

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)

   removeMenu()
   desktopMenu()

endMethod

Note: The Paradox Help files suggest you only need to call removeMenu(). However, recent versions do not restore the desktop menu after removing your menu. Use desktopMenu() to do this.
