Hi
I want to create a main screen with a menu, which is used to provide selection of separate screen (programs) within the body of the screen below the menu.
I'm trying not to have to duplicate the menu in each of the separate programs, is there a way where I can have the menu from one program active at the same time as another program controlling the screen below it.
Many thanks
Tracy

Re: Menus in Profound JS
Are you looking for something similar to Atrium, where when you choose a new option, it opens in a separate tab?
Or, are you looking for something stateless?
Or, do you want to end ("kill") the stateful job when you start a new one to replace it?

Hi Scott
Thanks for getting back so quickly.
I'm looking at the kill stateful job option.
I have done something similar in RPG using Profound UI in a service program, something like this would be good, but I'm open to suggestions
Thanks

Hi Tracy,
You say you're already doing this with a service program in Profound UI. Why not do it the same way in Profound.js? Its not clear what problem you're having with that approach.
The way I'd do it is something like this:

The way I'd do it is something like this:
- Modify the start.html file to include the menu in the HTML. (By coding it in HTML, not by trying to insert a rich display file.)
- Have it open the selected Profound.js program in an iframe.
- When a new option is selected, change the URL on the iframe, this should kill the existing application and replace it with a new one.
