how to traverse a menu?

[Former Member]

Suppose I have a menu: m_mymenu. there is a many menuitems for this menu, I want to go through each item in this menu.

How to loop through the whole menu item without hardcode for level of submenuitem?

Here is recursive function which triggers a menuite Clicked event with a given menu Text :

public integer wf_trig_menuitem(string as_menu, menu am_menu)

menu lm_menu, lm_submenu

int li =1

FOR li=1 to upperbound(am_menu.item)

  lm_menu = am_menu.item[li]

  IF lm_menu.text = as_menu then

    lm_menu.Event Clicked()

    return 1

END IF

  wf_trig_menuitem (as_menu, lm_menu)

NEXT 

return 1

//-------------Example

if you want to trigger the Clicked event of the 'Close' item menu from a commandbutton, call the function as the following :

wf_trig_menuitem("Close", parent.menuId)

Hope this helps.

Hi Kent;

  The MENU object class is actually a collection of Menu Items at the top level. You can access these using the Menu's Item [] array. Each Menu Item also may have subordinate Menu Items - again pointed to by the Item[] array.

  Thus, in order to loop through all the menu items, you would have to use the Item[] array and walk through each array of the array of the array .. etc (basically a B-Tree structure).
