Description

Show or hide a menu command.
This allows you to remove menu entries by path/ID from the FileMaker menu, so user cannot longer use it. The change is not permanent and whenever FileMaker rebuilds the menu, all menu entries are back.

On Windows we can only remove the entry, so we do so if you pass visible = 0.

Examples

Hide preferences menu command:

MBS("Menubar.SetMenuCommandVisible"; 49153; 0)

MBS("Menubar.SetMenuCommandVisible"; "FileMaker Pro Advanced¶Dienste"; 0)
