Hi
With the new ribbonbar control of PowerBuiler 2019 r2, I use the getitembytag function to search objects in the ribbonbar and access their properties. I also have menus associated with button (LargeButton).
The getItemByTag function does not work with these menus (RibbonMenuItem).
What other method can I use to find these menus by the Tag?
Thank for you help
Thierry
Hi Thierry,
It is not supported to use the RibbonMenuItem object in the GetItemByTag function in RibbonBar controls.
You can refer to the following link.
https://docs.appeon.com/appeon_online_help/pb2019r2/powerscript_reference/ch10s269.html
But I will record it as a new enhancement / requirement request and will transfer it to our product team for consideration.
BTW, you can work it around via the following code example:
String ls_menuTag, ls_text, ls_tag
Integer li_Return
Long ll_i
RibbonMenuItem lr_MenuItem
RibbonMenu lr_menu
RibbonLargeButtonItem lr_LargeButton
li_Return = rbb_1.GetItemByTag ("LargeButtonTag", lr_LargeButton)
li_Return = rbb_1.getmenubybuttonhandle( lr_LargeButton.itemhandle , lr_menu)
If lr_menu.getitemcount( ) > 0 Then
For ll_i = 1 To lr_menu.getitemcount( )
lr_menu.getitem( ll_i, lr_MenuItem)
ls_text = lr_MenuItem.text
ls_tag = lr_MenuItem.tag
Next
End If Regards,
I know this point of the documentation and I thank you for creating an evolution request.
In my case I only know the Tag of the menu and not the Tag of the button.
I am looking for an elegant solution but if I have no choice I will memorize the Tag of the button to find the menu.

Thierry
I fully understand your situation. And I will transfer your thought to our product team for consideration.
