Creating custom menu item

• dynamically create and destroy the custom menu item

  I have a standard TestStand platform that I use on multiple systems.  On some systems, I have a few sequences of calibration and I would like to have the Update menu to have the RunSequence of these sequences of calibration.  I know how to manually create these menu items, but they are no longer valid for some sequence files.  I would use the sequence SequenceFileLoad to dynamically create menu items and the SequenceFileUnload to destroy these menu items.

  I've played around with the API, but cannot determine the correct path to get to the create and destroy the custom menu items.  Does anyone know how this can be done?

  Thank you

  Matthew

  Yes, see the online help for the members of the following APIs:

  Engine.GetEditTimeToolMenuItems

  EditTimeMenuItems

  EditTimeMenuItem

  Basically, you get a collection of tool using Engine.GetEditTimeToolMenuItems () menu items and then call EditTimeMenuItems.Insert () or EditTimeMenuItems.Remove (). If you insert a you get returns an EditTimeMenuItem object on which you can change the settings.

  In addition, since it has an expression to hide items in menu tool, you need not necessarily to destroy, you can hide them instead.

  Hope this helps,

• Cannot create the custom menu item

  I feel that I'm missing something simple here.  Use the examples in the documentation for the BB developer, I am unable to get a custom menu item is displayed on a BB application menu in a simulator.

  More precisely:

  I copied the code for ContactsDemo (on page 31 of the PDF Advanced Developer) subjects, and works very well in the Simulator.

  I then copied the code for DemoAppMenuItem (from page 86 of the same doc).  It seems to work very well - no errors, and it appears in the Downloads folder on the Simulator.  But no custom menu item appears on the simulator when I create a new Contact, and then return to view it.

  I have all three options checked in Workspace Blackberry > Blackberry JDE > Code signing.

  My environment is:

  Eclipse 3.4.2

  BlackBerry JDE plugin 1.0.0.67 Eclipse

  I tried it with two simulators 4.5 and 4.6.

  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

  Thanks for the references page - this is a great compilation of resources!

  I don't know why the sample code of the documentation of EDGE does not work, but I was able to get the custom display menu item using the code I found this message on the forum.

• Getting context object null when using the custom menu item.

  Hi all

  I implemented a sample application to add menu item custom to the list of messages and we test this build on 9000 os 5.0.0.41 Blackberryy 1

  On BB 9000, we have 2 message inbox, A like Blackberry by default message inbox and B as long as the Inbox for the e-mail account, I have set up on BB 900.
  I implemented the menu custom application to add menu on the message list option.
  I see this option on both my inbox, the question that I am facing is when I click on the menu item by selecting the email in the message of default A Blackberry inbox I can get the context object were like when I click on the same message next to the Inbox B I'm always get the context as a NULL object.

  Below is the code I used to add the custom menu item.

  Public Shared Sub main (String [] args)
  {
  If (args! = null & args.length > 0) {}
  call from another entry point. Add menu items mark as Spam and mark as suspects.
  {if(args[0].) (Equals ("GUI"))}
  try {}
                          
  create menu items.

  MyMenu ApplicationMenuItem = new EmailFile();
  Add the menu item in the list view and send by e-mail.
  Amir ApplicationMenuItemRepository = ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance ();
  amir.addMenuItem (ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_MESSAGE_LIST, mymenu);
  } catch (Exception e) {}
  Utility.debugLog (try (), CLASSNAME, 'hand', Utility.EXCEPTION_INFO);
  System.out.println("Error:"+e.ToString());)
  }
  } else {}
  show on the application of spam...
  AppMain _theApp = new AppMain();
  _theApp.enterEventDispatcher ();
  }
  } else {}
  show on the application of spam...
  AppMain _theApp = new AppMain();
  _theApp.enterEventDispatcher ();
  }
  }

  Can we know what is the problem in my code or something I'm missing.

  Thanks in advance.

  application menu items have been bugged for ages. There is nothing you can do except change your workflow. in some cases, you can recover the app screen and trying to extract something of these fields, but becomes more difficult in the new OS versions because of custom fields used by rim.

• Add a logo image to a custom menu item

  I created a new custom menu item 'Export' in adobe illustrator CS6.

  What I want to know is that is it possible to add a small logo along the side of the 'Export' text on this menu item in adobe illustrator CS6 as below next to the opening, printing etc..

  

  Without going through the SDK. You might be able to hack one using platform-specific menu calls, but I do not think that the SDK has something to help you map their handles for menuitem to the menu system handles.

• Custom menu item at the request of Message: two questions

  I try to add a custom menu to the Blackberry message request and get two questions:

  1. When you click the custom menu, the "Application.getApplication () .requestForeground (); method call does not call the main() method of my application "DemoMI".
  2. If I changed the method of

  Application.getApplication () .requestForeground)

  TO

  ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager () .runApplication (app); Where app is the "DemoMI" application descriptor

  Will be called the main() method. However, how can I make the subject of the Message around in the method "run" for the application "com.demo.DemoApp"?  I tried to use a static variable 'mi ContactsDemoMenuItem', but I've always had "null" value when the "main()" is called.

  What you see is the expected behavior.  The ApplicationMenuItem runs in a different process where your application was run.  You have two options.

  You can store the subject of the Message in the RuntimeStore when the ApplicationMenuItem is called.  Your application you are undertaking could then read the subject of the Message of the RuntimeStore.

  Or you can create an application based on the drawing below:

• Custom Menu items are not displayed

  With the help of LV 8.5, I want to change my VI by program menu bar.  I'm not using Edit > Run-time Menu...

  I deleted almost all menu items by default ('File', 'Edition', etc) except "Help", and then inserted my own menu 'Config '.

  In the IDE, it works fine; When I make an executable from my menu does not appear.  Instead, the default items

  I deleted have indeed disappeared, and the only point is "Help".

  What I am doing wrong?  I looked at positions where it says add an element name and the element tag and I looked at all the

  Examples of LV for adding a menu.  Things are fine until I build the executable and then my little menu item just does not appear.

  There is no reason why I couldn't use Edit > run Menu... but I thought I could do it programmatically.  Just trying to understand what causes my menu to not appear.

  Now that I see your code, it makes sense. The reason why it does not work the way you had it before, it is that you are actually getting an error when you run the application. The error is because not all of these menus actually exist in the runtime environment. Thus, the function to delete the Menu items generates an error, and the rest of the code is bypassed. The example removes simply all of the menus, and no error is generated, since only the menus that actually exist get deleted.

• Custom menu item

  Hello world

  I wonder what are the settings to use in

  super("Some text here", priority, ordinal);
  

  to get this line above the custom point Menu as it is above to "shut up" by default?

  I guess you do not want to use super, but the constructor of the MenuItem class.

  the narrow question has a fixed ordinal, you can call super.makeMenu and check its elements to it, I think it was about 2600000.

• JavaScript: create menu buttons how custom toolbar items in the designer?

  Hello!

  Is it possible to create custom menu items or toolbar buttons in the ADEP/LiveCycle Designer?

  Thanks for the tips!

  Generally no,.

  but since the Designer ES2, you can create macros to simplify your workflow.

  These macros can be brought in the Tools menu.

• Creating a menu close to avoid the garbage alert 'Changes' thing: P

  First, I searched and saw solutions for setDirty (false) or to replace the examples in onSavePrompt (true), however I am having some problems with this integration into my existing code.

  What I'm asking is for the ability to hide the beast 'changes' invites the box, as shown in my element menu to close. What is my Code for the moment

• Elements of custom Menu Application

  Hello

  From a configuration file, I'm giving the user the ability to add and remove Menu items which would appear on a native BlackBerry Application Java, for example calendar, Contacts etc. It's all the dory hunky, adding menu items to the repository and the native application, but without a reference to the original object (which I think is garbage collected and stored somewhere in the depths of the BB database), I can't remove the added custom Menu item previously. (tried static member variable, and overwrite the previous text to menu items, just appears as a value that is duplicated in the menu)

  I read forums and manuals and the API extensively, but I did not yet find a solution.

  I read people who come on this issue, if there is a plausible solution, could you give a shout!

  See you soon,.

  Nik.

  If you want to remove an ApplicationMenuItem, you must keep a reference to the real menu item that you have added and use this reference to remove.  I find the best place for this is RuntimeStore.

  BTW do not know if you do this available to old BlackBerry OS, but even if you do this, the removal does not work under OS 4.0, but the fact in the latest OS.  Sorry not tested prior to OS 4.0.

• Card of formulation - UPDATING features of menu items

  Hello. We would like to add a new button in the box tools (say after the 'Settings' button) in the form of wording to make the refresh rate formulation.

  The option REFRESH the item menu is available when the specification of the formulation is in EDIT mode in the TOOLS menu items section.

  We want to make this feature via a new button in the box tool. In this way the button will still be visible and will help users do not forget to REFRESH the data.

  We intend to use the point of post to add a new button. The new button should call/call existing functionality to update the spec.
  How can we use out of the box functionality to perform the REFRESH functionality?

  Thank you.

  See the Config Guide of Navigation in scalability Pack (Agile Documentation) to create a menu item in GSMNavSpec toolbuttons.

  1. in config\Extensions\SiteMap-Extensions.xml, add the following xml elements if you don't have them.

  2. in the menu item toolbuttons, add the menu Refresh void as below, which is copied from config\Reference\SiteMap\SiteMap-GSM.xml.

  3 change its menu type, order of sorting and styles as you like.
