Title: Smart shape actions without subgroup selection
Post by: John Distai on June 04, 2013, 06:46:51 PM
Hi.  I'm working on this UI field for some UI design templates I'm working on.

I have a field that has a "required" marker that can enable/disable, and a field that can change colors depending on the desired state.  Each of these works correctly as a subgroup.  But now that I've grouped this item, how do I access the actions from the context menu when I click on the parent group?

In other words, how do I get it to work without sub-selection?

Thanks!

I got it to work.  I needed to move my actions up a level and make a sheet reference.

Since I have 2 separate actions in a single action menu, is there a way to add a horizontal line between them in the menu?

Thanks!

Hello John,

Either set the Begin Group cell (in the Action section) to true, or add an underscore to the beginning of the Menu string value.  For example, "_Disabled".

Glad you got the checkbox working.

Best regards

John
