TIWCGJQMenuItem.Hint is unassigned

[kattunga]

Hi,

I attach a TIWCGJQMenu to a TMainMenu.
In TMenuItem I save a text in the hint property that I need to use in the OnCLick event.
But the Sender passed to the TMenuItem is the TIWCGJQMenuItem.
When I look for the value of TIWCGJQMenuItem(Sender).Hint it's unasigned.

If it's no possible to use the hint, I need some way to identify the TMenuItem that correspond to the TIWCGJQMenuItem passed in the Sender to get from it, how can I do that?

Hi,

Could be added the property "tag" to TIWCGJQMenuItem, and get the value of TMenuItem.Tag?
Actually there is no tag property in TIWCGJQMenuItem.

Also it would be usufull to have a property in TIWCGJQMenuItem where stored a pointer to the TMenuItem.

Hi

Menu has the public property UserData: Pointer

Hi,

But when menu is created automatically from TMainMenu, is UserData filled automatically with a pointer to the TMenuItem that reference?
Or I need to do manually in some way?

Today I'm going to buy sourcecode to see it by my self .

You must do it manually.

Hi

Maybe you would like to see a published property in Design-Time, is that it?

No, I going to explain my problem a little better.

I have a TMainMenu where I dynamically create the TMenuItems from table where I have a name and a script to execute. Then I save in TMenuItem.tag property the position of an array of scripts to execute when the TMenuItem is pressed.
All TMenuItem.OnClick events point to the same procedure where based on the tag property of the Sender I can know which script I need to run.
The problem here is that I can't know, inside TMenuItem.OnClick, to which TMenuItem object corresponds the Sender.
What I need is a runtime property in TIWCGJQMenuItem where I can access the original TMenuItem.

Hi Christian

All you have to do is

MenuItem.UserData:= Pointer(position_of_an_array_of_scripts);

and after, in the OnClick event,

position_of_an_array_of_scripts:= NativeInt(MenuItem.UserData);

Best Regards
