Get the Context Action Name in the Method

Hi ShrutiS,

that´s a very good question! I myself searched two years for this one until I was able to find the most obvious solution:

Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();
return inn.newError("This call comes from " + this.getAction());

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 

Regards

CUI is the choice of the real professional!

Haven´t tried this one with CUI so far, so your inArgs hint is also useful for myself. Not sure if I was really right with my Action solution. I think I mixed it up with a different issue. I checked my Actions again -> in reality I used small Methods that call the main Method with "dummy" property to indicate the calling Action. Your CUI solution is more elegant.

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!

Hi Angela,

inArgs.control.id is what got me the button name

Thanks,

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!
