Hey All,

I have two questions.

1. I have the menu in my master and I want the details of the selected menu.

2. Can I have the mashup name of a selected menu from the menu widget? If yes then how.

Please provide me the right answer.

Thank you.

Hi @menayat.

We're not understanding the use case. Can you please provide a mock-up of what you would like to see along with further details of your use case?

Hi, the menu widget has a Mashup property which we can bind to other widgets or a service. This property gives us the Mashup name selected from the Menu item. Please refer to the below screenshot.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Suppose I have the menu in my master. The menu is like electronics, groceries, and vegetables in horizontal.

Now the question is simple. How can I get the detail of the selected menu?

If I select groceries then I want to know the details of the grocery menu like

menu .linkDestination = "MainMash";
menu .parentMenuId = "TotalCareMenu";
menu .menuId = "TotalCareMenu_0";
menu .isDefault = "true";
menu .imageURL = "";
menu .linkTarget = "Self";
menu .description = "";
menu .linkType = "Mashup";
menu .title = "[[MAP]]";

Thank you.

Thank you for your concern but I'm not able to achieve what I want.

I bind this mashup(which you display in the screenshot) with my service parameter but I'm not getting anything.
I checked with the logger it is showing undefined.

I got one more way. Menu > Service > GetEffectiveMenu with All Data of this service I'm getting all menu data.

But I need only the selected row. Like the menu, the name is Menu1, Menu2 & Menu3 is written If clicked on Menu2 then I want every detail of Menu2 like mashup name, parentID, menuId, and other details.

But with this service, I'm not getting the details of selected rows.

Thank you.

HI @slangley,

Ok, I'm explaining to you.
I have a dynamic menu in which I'm loading AllData from a service. In this menu, I have 3 items or you can say 3 rows. So as you know these 3 rows will become 3 menus.
So my question is simple I want to make the first map is byDefault selected.
My codes are here.

var row = new Object();
row.isDefault = true;
row.parentMenuId = "";
row.imageURL = "";
row.description = "";
row.menuId = "Menu";
row.linkType = "Menu";
row.title = "";
result.AddRow(row);

row = new Object();
row.linkDestination = mainMash;
row.parentMenuId = "Menu";
row.menuId = "Menu_0";
row.isDefault = true; // I make it true by after that also it's not working.
row.imageURL = "";
row.linkTarget = "Self";
row.description = "";
row.linkType = "Mashup";
row.title = "[[MAP]]";
result.AddRow(row);

row = new Object();
row.linkDestination = "ReportsMash";
row.parentMenuId = "Menu";
row.menuId = "Menu_1";
row.isDefault = false;
row.imageURL = "";
row.linkTarget = "Self";
row.description = "";
row.linkType = "Mashup";
row.title = "[[REPORTS]]";
result.AddRow(row);

row = new Object();
row.linkDestination = "SettingsMash";
row.parentMenuId = "Menu";
row.menuId = "Menu_2";
row.isDefault = false;
row.imageURL = "";
row.linkTarget = "Self";
row.description = "";
row.linkType = "Mashup";
row.title = "[[SETTINGS]]";
result.AddRow(row);

now please tell me how to make default selected.

Hi @menayat.

This seems to be a different question, but there is an option to set the default menu during creation.
