Have you experimented with 'get_menu_item_property'?

I have experminted all of those !!!

You can get only property of the MENUITEM by GET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in, and for that you have to pass the menuitem name or id.

BUT !! i want to get that menuitem name or id when
user pressed any menu.

Does system.current_item while working in the menu provide information?

Hi Dear,

U can try with

           PREVIOUS_MENU_ITEM; 
           NEXT_MENU_ITEM;

dynamically, after that u use Find_Menu_Item.

FIND_MENU_ITEM  (menu_name.menu_item_name);

For Ex: FIND_MENU_ITEM ('MY_MENU.COPY_MENU');

Thanks for Reply.

u said

USE

FIND_MENU_ITEM('MY_MENU.COPY_MENU');

but thats what i want to get is 'MY_MENU.COPY_MENU'

i want to get it dynamically..
when user press specific menu then i want to get the menu name used in menu builder like 'MY_MENU.COPY_MENU'

WITH THE USE OF

PREVIOUS_MENU_ITEM;
NEXT_MENU_ITEM;

U can just navigate the item not the inherit the properties of it.

i have tried it.

see my code.

--------------------------------

DECLARE
MY_MENU MENUITEM;
MENU_LABEL VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN

MY_MENU := FIND_MENU_ITEM(NEXT_MENU_ITEM);

MENU_LABEL := GET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY(MY_MENU,LABEL);

MESSAGE(MENU_LABEL);

END;
----------------------------------

when i compile this code, it throws the errors and says..

" no function with name 'NEXT_MENU_ITEM' exists in this scope "

i had put this code into BUTTON "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" TRIGGER in forms and also tried in MENU ITEM'S PL/SQL EDITOR..

Sorry that I have been so long in replying. Have you solved your problem?

Where did you find 'NEXT_MENU_ITEM'? It doesn't exist in any documentation that I have available to me. You need to know the name of the item before doing the 'find' and 'get - checked'.
