Can’t seem to set a custom controller.

None of the forms I want to use, that are set ShowInMenu, are showing up in the custom controller selection dialog box.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Only the forms with the showInMenu property is **NOT** selected will be selectable in the controller selection.

Three of my four controllers currently in use have showInMenu selected.

As a controller you can only use the forms with the showInMenu property **UNSELECTED.**

Have a look to the servoy tutorial video on how to use custom controllers on:

My guess is that you had the showInMenu property unselected at first before you assigned these controllers to forms. And selected the showInMenu property later.  
This works but I am not sure if you want that. Why do you want a user to be able to go to a controller form?

I get it now…

No, I don’t want users to be able to go to a controller form.

Thanks for all your help.
