<b>Subject:</b> [DUG] How to find parameters of an Action Menu created at runtime<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>My program creates Action Menu items at runtime, with the caption of each item set to a value returned by a database query. The OnExecute procedure is the same for all items.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>When I click on an item, I need to obtain the item caption for the OnExecute procedure, to use in another query. I have tried the following (analogous to TMenuItem for a popup menu):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">sCaption := TActionClientItem(Sender).Caption;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>However, this always returns an empty string. I have searched the web and the Delphi Help to no avail. I am aware that Caption is a published property, but the public property Index also fails.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I presume I am doing something wrong here, but cannot figure out what. Any help appreciated.
<o:p></o:p></p>
