RobotStudio event

How to respond the click event of submenu

I am writing a addin for RobotStudio, and I add a submenu under "Tools". But I cannot respond the click event of it.

I tried to define a menu and a submenu as :

Public MyMenu As CommandBarPopup
Public WithEvents MySubMenu As CommandBarButton

But it returns an error message:"Object or class does not support the set of events"

image Could you give me a hand?

  • Here is some simple code to start with

    Dim WithEvents mRSE As RSE
    Dim mToolsMenu As CommandBarPopup
    Dim mMyMenu As CommandBarControl
    Dim lngMyID As Long

    Sub CreateMenu()
        On Error Resume Next
       
        Set mRSE = Application.RSE
        Set mToolsMenu = mRSE.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Tools")
        Set mMyMenu = mToolsMenu.Controls.Add(rsControlButton, "My Menu")
        lngMyID = mMyMenu.Id

    End Sub

    Private Sub mRSE_CommandBarControlClick(ByVal CommandID As Long, CancelDefault As Boolean)
        If lngMyID = CommandID Then
            MsgBox "You have clicked on my menu..."
        End If
    End Sub

  • If you wish to make your code a bit more readable then I wouldn't save the ID but instead check it like this:

    Dim WithEvents mRSE As RSE
    Dim mToolsMenu As CommandBarPopup
    Dim mMyMenu As CommandBarControl

    Sub CreateMenu()
        On Error Resume Next
       
        Set mRSE = Application.RSE
        Set mToolsMenu = mRSE.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Tools")
        Set mMyMenu = mToolsMenu.Controls.Add(rsControlButton, "My Menu")

    End Sub

    Private Sub mRSE_CommandBarControlClick(ByVal CommandID As Long, CancelDefault As Boolean)
        If CommandID = Application.RSE.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Controls("My Menu").Id Then
            MsgBox "You have clicked on my menu..."
        End If
    End Sub

  • But to make it language independent, I think using ID is better
