Hello all, 2023R2, am using a menu on the main page with Menuselected being the event that causes the menu to do whatever. Also on this page is a WebListBox. I am using the ContextualMenuSelected, in the WebListBox. After the page is shown, I can press and use the menu on the page - it works as expected. If I right click on the WebListBox, I get the contextual menu - it too works as expected. However, if I go back to the main pages menu it won’t even pop up. Leaving the page to another then going back to the main page - no change. The MenuSelected event does not even get called… What have I done wrong?? I have tried having code in both the PageShown as well as (separately) having the setup for both of the objects in a single method on the Page. This is the setup code. It is called from the MainPage.Shown Event ```auto Private Sub mnuSetup() //------------------ For the Menu on the Main Page ------------// Var NavMenu As New WebMenuItem("Navmenu") NavMenu.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Today")) NavMenu.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Tomorrow")) NavMenu.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Next Week")) NavMenu.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Create License")) NavMenu.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Exit")) // Assign the menu to the dates button Var dateButton As New WebToolbarButton dateButton.Style = WebToolbarButton.ButtonStyles.Menu dateButton.Menu = NavMenu dateButton.Caption = "Navigate" datebutton.Icon = webpicture.BootstrapIcon("calendar-date") // Self.MainPageToolBar.AddItem(dateButton) // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------// // ----------- For the ContextualMenu on the WebListBox _________________ // // Create menu and assign it to the control Var menu As New WebMenuitem("menu") menu.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Action")) menu.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("-")) // Separator // A header Var item As New WebMenuItem("Options Header") item.Style = WebMenuItem.Styles.Header menu.AddMenuItem item // A disabled item item = New WebMenuItem("Disabled") item.Enabled = False menu.AddMenuItem item // A menu with sub-items item = New WebMenuItem("Parent") item.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Child 1")) item.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Child 2")) item.AddMenuItem(New WebMenuItem("Child 3")) menu.AddMenuItem item // An item with a custom text color item = New WebMenuItem("Restart") item.TextColor = Color.Red menu.AddMenuItem item Self.lstSiteMaster.ContextualMenu = menu End Sub ``` This is the code in the Menu.MenuSelected ```auto Sub MenuSelected(Item as WebToolbarButton, hitItem as WebMenuItem) Handles MenuSelected If item.Caption = "Navigate" Then Select Case hitItem.Text case "Create License" Session.ShowLicensePage case "Exit" Session.ShowLoginPage End Select End If hitItem.Text= "Hit Item" MessageBox "Hit Item = " + hitItem.Text Exception e as RuntimeException Flds()= array("EXCEPTION", CurrentMethodName, Cstr( e.Type) ) Logs.AddFields Flds Logs.LogFileAppend( Logs.K_Except_App_Err) End Sub ``` This is the code in the WebListBox.ContextualMenuSelected event. ```auto Sub ContextualMenuSelected(hitItem as WebMenuItem) Handles ContextualMenuSelected MessageBox("You Selected """ + hitItem.Text + """") End Sub ``` Ideas are appreciated!
