Can I Modify by coding a property in Button menu Items ?

fgodefroidt

Hi,

I have a button with menu items into a form. Sometimes, i need to modify the "Visible" property by the code. There is no functions in CurrForm, or Controls for Access to something like that : MyButton.NameItem.Visible:=TRUE;

Or perhaps it's not possible ?

Please Help

This is not possible. You can't make menuitems visible or not-visible as you can do with regular controls.

Only solution is to create multiple menu-buttons on top of each other with the different combinations of menuitems. Then you can make one menu-button visible, and hide the other menu-buttons, using C/AL Code.

Drawback is of course you need to maintain multiple menu-buttons when new menuitems are added, and that you end up with multiple menu-buttons when various combinations of menuitems exists.

You must modify the name of the button...
and the you find the control in the CurrForm.MenuButton.VISIBLE properties.

If you want to make the menu-button visible or not visible using code, you need indeed to use the Name-property.

If you want to make the individual menu-items visible or not visible, you need the approach as discussed before.

Thanks for anwers.

It's my real problem : I can't see the individual menu item
There is only the main button in Currform\
And no individual items in CurrForm\MyButton\....

I wonder if it's reallly possible....

You can't see/use the individual menu-items with CurrForm.

I can see only my main button...
Is there a bug in the version FR 5.00 ?

So there is no solution other create many buttons and only set visible the correct one ?

How many menu-buttons do you have on your form?
Does each menu-button has a value in the Name-property (with other words: does each menu-button has a name assigned)?

I have only one button with menu options, do I will make many buttons with the 3 cases I have.
Thanks.

It is not possible to enable or disable individual menu-items. This is not a bug, but that's the way it works, unfortunately.
