Step 6: Displaying a Users Form

The Framework contains an mmUsersForm class that allows you to maintain application users and the roles to which they belong:

You can subclass this Framework-level form and customize it as needed.

To display a Users form in your application, follow these steps:

1. Add a new menu bar to your application's main menu for launching the Users Form. For details, see the Help topic Launching a Form from the Main Menu.

2. Add the following code to the menu bar's Click event handler:

   In C#:

   private void ListsUsersBar_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
   {
   	mmAppDesktop.FormMgr.Show(new mmUsersForm(), this);
   }

   And in VB .NET:

   Private Sub ListsUsersBar_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListsUsersBar.Click
         mmAppDesktop.FormMgr.Show(New mmUsersForm(), Me)
   End Sub

   
   Note: If you have localized your application and have added a Language field to your User table, you should instantiate the mmUsersFormLang rather than mmUsersForm (it has an additional Language combo box on the Properties tab). If you have created your own custom Users form subclass, just specify the name of your custom class in the code shown above.
