How to: define a menu item in an action

I'm no dummy but I can't figure out how to execute a menu item through an action;
add button>properties>action>execute menu item. A dialog appears which is blank, and gives me the option of canceling. Maybe a product defect.
The help documentation defines what it means to execute a menu item, but doesn't expand on how to create one.

That's great. I'd love to jump into j-script and learn all about it, what it can do, what it's limitations are.... But I'm actually just looking to use the program as it functions (or should) out of the box.
This feature was accessible in Acro 8. I don't think that java should be necessary to perform this task. But maybe it is. Is anyone else able to use the "execute menu item" action? Because my build (acrobat 9.0 pro extended)only displays a blank selection dialog.
Thanks for the reply Geo

How to hide/disable menu items using Javascript in Acrobat 9 pro or later

We just wanted to know on how to hide/disable menu items for e.g. 'Open' menu item under 'File' menu in Acrobat 9 or later on Mac using Javascript. It would be useful if you could provide if any other option is in place already.

Not sure it will work, but you can try using the app.hideMenuItem() method. See reference here.

How do i disable menu items in Help manu, Photoshop cs6?

How do i disable menu items in Help manu, Photoshop cs6?
I packaged Photoshop cs6 using AAMEE CS6.
I need to some menu items to disable.
can any one please tell the process of doing , or which registries or files need to edit.
Appreciate the immediate response.
thanks in advance.

Hello8
Given the fact that you speak about AAMEE, it's not clear if you search for an automated and remote way to do it on multiple machines or not.
(and therefore if this thread should be moved to the relevant forum, http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup/creative_suite_enterprise_deploym ent )
To disable menu items, simply go to Edit>Menus and click on the eyeball next to the menus you do not want.
It is then possible to save it in a workspace that by default will be located there: Documents and Settings/[user name]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/Workspaces (Modified)
I'm not sure if Photoshop will start if the default workspaces are removed, as there is an option to restore them in the preferences.
Also, this is not customer support, but a forum fielded by volunteers that answer when they can, so inviting for an"immediate response" has no bearing; and might even have the opposite effect, but thanks for doing it in a polite and non too demanding way!

How to use Role Menu item in BI 7.0

Hi experts,
From web applications desiger in version 3.5 we can use Role Menu item to access our querys easily.
In version 7.0 this item has been deleted from standard items. How can we manage it ? Thanks a lot
Best regards,

You can use EP role to have the same functionality.
Another option is to use the 3.X role menu web item after applying note 1075789, in this case role meny web item will display 7.0 objects also.

How to change the menu item text

Hi,
in cj20n transaction, for one of menu item i have to change the text of the item. How can i change the text.
Regards,
Ram

HI,
First try to find the exists available for that transaction and find menu exit in that exist. Once you find the exits create project in tcode cmod then go to that menu exit.
Just double click on that exit, it will show the existing text, if you want to change the text then click on change mode, it will asks for package, you have to provide package then give the text whatever you want and save it and activate it.
The new text will be available in your transaction.

How to set the menu item you want highlighted upon playing DVD

I have a list of about 9 menu items on my main DVD menu. The 6th one is the one that is highlighted when you play the DVD. This happens in submenus as well. I want the FIRST one highlighted at all times. Is there a way to set that?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I was having this problem and I found a fix. It all happens in map view.
I'm viewing my iDVD project map horizontally... Left to Right.
Whatever object is directly to the right, will be the default. Here's a lame diagram.
MENU-MOVIE 1
-MOVIE 2
-MOVIE 3
In this example... Movie 1 is the default. It's right next to Menu. Want to change it? Got everything saved? Then select Movie 1 and hit Cmd-X to Cut.
It will disappear in a poof of smoke. Don't panic. Notice how the other movies got "promoted?"
MENU-MOVIE 2
-MOVIE 3
Now Movie 2 is the default. SO!
Select the MENU object and hit Cmd-V to Paste.
Movie 1 should return at the bottom of the list. Like so.
MENU-MOVIE 2
-MOVIE 3
-MOVIE 1
Now preview your work to make sure.
Good Luck!

How to add a menu item to the toolbar?

Hi,
I try to add a menu item to a module toolbar. However, the methods MenuItemAdd and MenuItemInsert did not work for me. There was no icon, no placeholder, not anything. Deleting of DIAdem predefined icons worked well.
I tried this one:
call MenuItemAdd("SCRIPT", "I", "MENUITEM", "TestName", "PicDelete")
I also tried all combinations of Modules, I, I.1, MenuItem, Unknown, Separator, etc. Nothing produced any result.
Does anyone have a hint for me?
thanks in advance,
Alex.

Hello Alex Maier,
with DIAdem 10.0 we provide the following example: "User Defined Menus". Attached you find the relevant script commands.
I hope this will help you.
Greetings

Question: How do you remove Menu Items from showing up in LC

Hello everyone:
If someone can please point me in the right direction in how to convert app.hideMenuItem("Toolbars"); to the XFA SOM?
I am creating the form using Adobe Distiller from an access report. I change the Interface Options in Acrobat to hide file and toolbar menus, but when I convert it to LC, the options are removed.
I also scripted app.hideMenuItem("Toolbars"); in the Page.Open event using Acrobat and when I convert to LC the code does nothing at the subPage1.Initialize event. Not even when I reopen the converted form in Acrobat does the script run...
What is the best method of hidding menu items using LC Designer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

Ivan,
Here is what liitle I know on this topic.
The attached doc was created when Designer 7 was released and it has a table of the Acrobat JavaScript APIs and there equivalents, if any, in Designer. According to that doc, app.hideMenuItem() is supported in Designer and there is no Designer JavaScript equivalent.
My brief look at this matter leads me to believe security constraints since Reader 6.0 have changed the rules.
I recommend you take a look at trusted functions and context in the Acrobat 9 SDK.

Air desktop application: how to make a menu item bold?

Hi, I'm using Flash CS6 to develop an AIR desktop application for OSX. I've created my menu using NativeMenu and such, but I can't find a way to make the first menu item bold, like a true OSX app. So far the little I've found on this always referred to Flex, not Flash. Any hints?
Thank you.

Thank you, kglad.
I think I forgot to mention I'm building an Application Menu. The NativeMenu contains NativeMenuItems and there is no format property or method that I can see. Also, the name the menu item displays is its label property, which you can set, but it's a string, and I believe the htmlText applies to textfields, right?
