Good afternoon,
I have a menu which has child menus that I have already built a functio work with. I now need to go 1 more level deep. Below is the code for the function and the calling code. I need some help on line 183 which is the last code to get the 3rd level menu.
Menu / Item 1 works with existing funciton
Menu / Item 1 / SubItem 1 I cannot get past the error on line 183 see code below.
Regards,
Brian

It's hard to say specifically what's wrong with it by looking at the code. But what I can say is, likely the Tool it's interacting with at that moment is not what you believe it is, either it's null, a tool that doesn't have subtools, or is merged from a parent mdi toolbar, and therefore is just a placeholder tool, that you need to look at the UnderlyingTool property to interact with it. Start with eliminating the excess. When it hits the error at that line, look at the values of all the pertinent local variables, to get your bearings of is it where you believe it is, and is the tool you are interacting with is the type of tool that you expected.
Hi Michael,
I do not really follow what you are saying here. The function has gotten rather large just to get the the toolbar, menu, submenu items. This code works and allows me to select the sub menu when I need to . Unfortunately the submenu of the submenu is a different issue. I think the issue may be in line 164 where I have found the submenu item and I set the object so I can start looking for the next level down.
Set objectTBarSubMenu = objectTBarMenu.Tools.GetItem(loopSubMenus) 'Set the object only if correct object is found
The above line sets the submenu. I then need to find out how to get the next set of menu items.
Here is the recorded code for the click. It will work only until I restart the application or at best on just my machine due to the dynamic nature of the menus.
SwfWindow("Summit FT - Bond Definition").SwfToolbar("_toolbarsDockAreaTop").DropdownToolbarTool "Desktop Menu","50:EntityView"SwfWindow("Summit FT - Bond Definition").SwfToolbar("_toolbarsDockAreaTop").DropdownMenuTool "Desktop Menu,50:EntityView","78:Maintenance"SwfWindow("Summit FT - Bond Definition").SwfToolbar("_toolbarsDockAreaTop").ClickMenuTool "Desktop Menu,50:EntityView,78:Maintenance","79:PastReset"
As far as debuging the code. I have stepped through all the code to the line which states: If booleanToolBarSubMenuFound = True Then which is the line above 183. The values found are correct. The other issue is of course that we cannot look at the properties of the menu with QTP. What other properties can I set to get the final menu item?
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I should open a ticket on this so we can speak over the phone.
A ticket has been opened, and it could be useful if you contacted our developer support directly on this matter. The issue from what I can tell is that you are getting an exception:'Error Object doesn't support this property or method: 'objectTBarSubMenu.Tools' Line (183): "countToolBarSubSubMenus = objectTBarSubMenu.Tools.Count". It is basically saying that the subMenu object that you retrieved does not have a Tools property. Since I imagine you were expecting some form of PopUpMenu, which would have a Tools property, then likely the Tool you grabbed is not a PopUpMenu tool.
Why it isn't I cannot say, I can say possibilities, one of which is the Tool you grabbed, is an MdiPlaceHolderTool, which is used when the actually tool you want is housed on a parent form and not on the child form that you are interacting with. To access the tool you want, you need to see if the UnderlyingTool property has a value or not, and if so get the Tools property of that.This of course is typically really only a possibility if you have a form within another form, in which the parent form has the same tool in it even if you closed the child form.
It could also be some flaw in how you are getting the subMenu, it's honestly hard for me to tell without walking through it, but again I would suggest checking to see if the CaptionResolved is what you believe it to be. If it is, and it using UnderlyingTool does not resolve it, then I would recommend contacting our DeveloperSupport to have them walk through it with you.
Hi Michael and David,
I am inserting a screen capture of the menu that I am trying to work with. This does not appear to be anything which is unique or different from the other levels of the menu that I have been able to work with successfully. Please let me know what else we can try to get this menu so we can select it.
Hello Brian,
In order for me to really be able to help you with this, I would need a sample application and script which reproduces the issue. Once you have everything in one ZIP file, you can attach it to a post by selecting the Options tab before submitting your post.
