ProvideMenuItems

The ProvideMenuItems method of the IOlapAddIn interface responds to a request that the add-in program enable default menu items, add new menu items to the current node, or both.

Syntax

ProvideMenuItems(CurrentNode As OlapTreeNode, _
MenuItems As OlapMenuItems)

Calling Arguments

CurrentNode

The OlapTreeNode that is selected for menu display in the tree view (right mouse click).

MenuItems

A collection of OlapMenuItems.

Remarks

The ProvideMenuItems function is used to enable default menu items and to add new menu items to the current tree node. When your add-in program enables default menu items, it should also provide associated child menu items.

Note Enumerations provided for menu items and menu actions should be initialized with a positive, non-zero value. Enumerations initialized to zero may cause unpredictable results when providing menu items for a custom add-in program.

Example

Private Enum MenuActions

  mnuActTop = 1

  mnuActMid

  mnuActBtm

  mnuActSpc

End Enum

Private Sub IOlapAddIn_ProvideMenuItems(CurrentNode As _

    DSSAddInsManager.OlapTreeNode, MenuItems As _

    DSSAddInsManager.OlapMenuItems)

  On Error GoTo ProvideMenuItems_Err 'Handle errors

  If CurrentNode.Caption = "Node 1" Then

    'Enable default New menu item and add child menu items

    MenuItems.Add mnuStandard, "&Top", mnuActTop, , mnuflagNew

    MenuItems.Add mnuStandard, "&Mid", mnuActMid, , mnuflagNew

    MenuItems.Add mnuStandard, "&Btm", mnuActBtm, , mnuflagNew

    'Add regular menu item to root menu

    MenuItems.Add mnuStandard, "&Special", mnuActSpc, , mnuflagRegular

  End If

  Exit Sub

ProvideMenuItems_Err:

  MsgBox "ProvideMenuItems failed"

  Err.Clear

End Sub
