vla-save return nil?

Hello to all,

can you help me with pulldownmenus?

I am makeing pop menu, inserting in menu bar, but can not save the menu.

(setq currmenu (vla-item
     (vla-get-menugroups (vlax-get-acad-object))
      "My-menu"
   )
)
 (vla-save currmenu acMenuFileCompiled)
 (vla-save currmenu acMenuFileSource)

in row (vla-save currmenu acMenuFileCompiled)

I am receiving nil?

Where is the problem?

I found this after a quick look in the Dev help:

object.Save MenuFileType

 

Object

MenuGroup

The object this method applies to.

Note This method has no effect for menu groups.

Thank you Lee Mac,

Where is my eyes?!

So in this case:

1. If you access menugroups via Vlisp every time the routine must build menu , submenus, toolbars, icons, and so on.

2. There is no options to save already builded menu in *.cui file.

I'm afraid I don't have much experience in this area of customisation... hopefully someone with more knowledge can stop by

Hi Lee,

for one week work of menus my conclusions are:

1. in *mnu file (older than *.cui) in sections ***POP - CAN NOT assign bmps or icnons for each command (row).

2. in *mnu file (older than *.cui) in sections ***TOOLBARS - CAN assign bmps or icnons for each command (row) - because it is button .

The best way it to do -> use cui editor from autocad after that with cuitomnu.vlx to convert of *.mnu (if need)
