Hi Angela,

Thanks for the response, for some response when I tried this.getAction() it returned the method name and not the Action name.

I then switched to the CUI menu item and I am now able to get the resp menu button name in the inArgs parameter [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

Hi Shruti,

I right now want to build a similar CUI Menu with buttons like you did in this post a few month ago.

Can you give me some hints regarding getting the Action or CUI Menu Button name with inArgs?

I thought I could use inArgs.commandId  or inArgs.control.getId() to get the calling element.

But none of my variants I tried so far did contain anything. Not sure what is missing. Would be great if you could tell me how you did it :-D . 

Thanks!

Angela

      Hi Shruti!

      Thanks for the hint! Works excellent! The ability to get the calling element is really a big pro argument for CUI elements.

      Have a happy week!

        Has anyone ever figured out how to get the name of the calling "Action" item? I have a legacy use case were a couple of Actions items are still used with many similar Methods. I want to unify them first before switching to CUI. But right now I haven´t found a way to get the "Action" name.
