Dynamic menu in VL WEB (SOLVED)

Post by kno_dk »

Hi.

I am trying to build a dynamic menu in Appbar. When I click on the menu icon to the right I should have a pop menu. I have added 3 menu items to the menu but only the last one is shown.

I cant see why. Any suggestion?

Is this the best way of making a dynamic pop up menu in the appbar?

Here is my sample source

Hi.

Try this version of your code... the trick is to use a method to instantiate each dynamic menu item... in your original version only one menu item was inserted into the menu... the caption shown was the last one set.

Hope that helps :-)

Cheers for now.

Marcus.

Hi Klaus,

You are only instantiating one menu item:

#TempItem <= (*New #Prim_Md.MenuItem)

Therefore these commands ...

Set Com(#TempItem) Parent(#Menu) ...

are affecting the one #TempItem you have created and the collection will only have that one item.
You need to create the other ones in the same way:

#TempItem <= (*New #Prim_Md.MenuItem)

Set Com(#TempItem) Parent(#Menu) Caption("Caption Item 1") Displayposition(1)
#MenuItems.Insert Item(#TempItem)

#TempItem <= (*New #Prim_Md.MenuItem)

Set Com(#TempItem) Parent(#Menu) Caption("Caption Item 2") Displayposition(2)
#MenuItems.Insert Item(#TempItem)

#TempItem <= (*New #Prim_Md.MenuItem)

Set Com(#TempItem) Parent(#Menu) Caption("Caption Item 3") Displayposition(3)
#MenuItems.Insert Item(#TempItem)

Regards,
Pablo
