Haven't worked with menus to often so I hope this is just something easy and I am just not seeing the forest through the trees.  I create a generic menu variable then assign a menu to it. Then I need to access the menu items.  Because I created the menu variable using the generic menu type it does not recognize any menu items under it.  So how do I access those items?  Below is the scenario


Instance Variable for the menu
Menu ImPopmenu
imPopmenu = Create menu
imPopmenu = m_popmenu

//m_popmenu has two items In it...
m_popmenu
       m_name

       m_something

if I code...  imPopmenu.m_name......  it gives me an error that it does not recognize m_name.

 

IF I created the variable like this it does work (basically Fully qualifying the menu)

m_popmenu imPopmenu

imPopmenu = Create m_popmenu

 

Tried to use "Dynamic" but that does not work either..

Hi David;

  To instantiate a menu dynamically and then "Pop" it up, for example ...

mu_popup_master  lo_mu
String           ls_pop_menu
Int              li_x, li_y                                                                            
ls_pop_menu = is_pop_menu  +  "_" + go_ac.of_get_Language ( )
lo_wn = THIS.of_Get_Parent_Window ()
lo_mu =    CREATE   using ls_pop_menu
li_X = lo_wn.PointerX ()
li_Y = lo_wn.PointerY ()
lo_mu.mi_object.PopMenu (li_X, li_Y)

 

HTH

Regards .. Chris
