Copy Customization Layer

Hi Matt,

With the Customization window open, you can go to File | Export
Customization. Vantage will give it a filename relating to the screen
it belongs to. Remember where you saved it.

Next, go back to the main Vantage window and go to open the same module
window. On the "Select Customization and Translation" window, click
the "Import" button on the bottom left and find the saved file. Open
the Customization window, click File | Save Customization As...

I created a customization layer in V8.03 and I was wondering if there
was any simple way to make a copy of it.

I need to make a similar form and it would save me a lot of time if
there was a function like this.

Thanks for any input..

I am not sure if I follow what you are asking..
You can certainly copy and paste the vb code from the script editor.
Controls you place on a form all reference the parent control that they
placed into. This is revealed in the Custom XML Editor. It is not an
easy job to copy controls out of the custom XML and paste into a
different form, but it can be done. It helps to have the planets in
proper alignment before you start. It also helps if all the form
customization that you want to duplicate was done at the same time as
stuff seems to be put into the XML sequentially and is not grouped
logically, from what I have experienced.


Good Luck.
