Description
The SET ABOUT command changes the About 4D menu command in the Help menu (Windows) or in the Application menu (macOS) menu to itemText.
After the call, when a user selects this menu command in Design or Application mode, method will be called. Typically, this method can open a dialog box to give version information about your application.
This command is used with 4D (all modes), 4D Desktop and 4D Server. A new process is created when it is run on a server machine.
Note: On Windows, this command modifies the "About 4D" line in the Help menu created by the SET HELP MENU command.
Example 1
The following example replaces the About menu command with the About Scheduler menu command. The ABOUT method displays a custom About box:
SET ABOUT("About Scheduler…";"ABOUT")
Example 2
The following example resets the About 4D menu command:
SET ABOUT("About 4D";"")
