Menu selection references

Menu selection references can be used in formulas to access the selected entry of a menu widget.

Syntax:

#page.widget!selection

with

• page - Name of the page containing the menu widget - optional

• widget - Name of the referenced menu widget

• !selection - Appendix, to access the selected menu entry

Remark

• If the !selection appendix is specified, the reference returns the currently selected menu entry. This applies to menus and hierarchy menus.

• The !selection appendix is automatically added to a menu widget reference if you click on the menu widget while holding down the CTRL key. Multiple clicks then switch between the reference with and without the appendix.

Examples

• menu1!selection - returns the currently selected entry of the menu1 widget in the current page

• #page1.menu1!selection - returns the currently selected entry of the menu1 widget in the page page1
