Hello

I am trying to loop the menu to find captions of sub menu items

I did email support 4 days ago, no answer Yet again, the extra paid support is awful

The basic idea here, is a function, which i supply a button id and it puts the child button captions in a listbox

I know the code works because If i use it once, it works.. and if i close the exe and try a different button, it returns the new correct buttons values

However, if I press around the buttons without restarting the exe, i always get the same data back

So it appears to be caching, does anyone know how to clear the find function, the nothing vb method do not seem to work

My code is below, thank you

Public Sub FillReportsListBox(strParentButtonName As String)

Dim cbcTemp As CommandBarControl

Set cbcTemp = frmMain.CJMenuPopUp.FindControl(xtpControlButton, strParentButtonName, True, False)

Debug.Print cbcTemp.ID

lvwReports.ClearList

Dim intx As Integer

intx = 1

Dim lngItem As Long

While (intx < cbcTemp.Controls.Count)

lngItem = lvwReports.AddItem(cbcTemp.Controls(intx).Caption)

intx = intx + 1

Wend

Set cbcTemp = Nothing

End Sub

I got this working in the end, incase anyone ever needs it

vb6

CJMenuPopUp = name of my CommandBars object

ID_REPORTS_CLIENTS = a long (name happened to match the button ID, its a long which equals the ID in the button xml > designed > export xml)

Public Sub FillReportsListBox()

Dim cbcTemp As CommandBarControl

Set cbcTemp = frmMain.CJMenuPopUp.FindControl(xtpControlPopup, ID_REPORTS_CLIENTS, True, True)

Dim intx As Integer

intx = 1

While (intx < cbcTemp.CommandBar.Controls.Count)

Debug.Print cbcTemp.CommandBar.Controls(intx).Caption

intx = intx + 1

Wend
