uniTreeMenu - disable child items? hide child items?

[aem]

 

We use the tuniTreeMenu hooked to tuniMenuItems extensively - works great.

I want to be able to disable all the items a user doesn't have the right to access at startup.

But assigning values to 'enabled' has no effect. Possible?

Anyway, I did find nice code in this group that lets me HIDE individual treemenu items.

It works great for Top level items, but not for child items. Hmm.

Even if I fully expand the tree items and then execute the code, sub-items  don't seem to be affected.

Here is an example test of mine:

     welcome1.enabled := False;        //a top level item   - BECOMES HIDDEN
     personalchecks1.visible:=false;  //a second level child item - NO CHANGE

 with UniTreeMenu1 do
  begin
    _llist := '';
    for I := 0 to SourceMenu.Items.Count-1 do
      if not SourceMenu.Items.Visible then
        if _llist='' then _llist := '"'+SourceMenu.Items.Caption+'"'
        else _llist := _llist + ',"' + SourceMenu.Items.Caption+'"';

    if _llist<>'' then
    begin
      JSInterface.JSCall('getStore().clearFilter', []);
      JSInterface.JSCode(#1'.getStore().filterBy(function (record){ if (['+ _llist +'].indexOf(record.get("text"))>-1) return false; else return true;});');
    end
    else
      JSInterface.JSCall('getStore().clearFilter', []);
  end;

Any workaround hints are appreciated greatly.

Thank you,

I will try to give you a solution...

I have kept trying various things  to try to make unimenutree items

display and act as disabled when disabled at runtime (the user's rights are applied)

disable the unimenuitem - no effect

  //  welcome1.enabled:=false;   //top level
  //  personalchecks1.enabled:=false;  //child level

disable unitreemenu items directly - no effect

     //unitreemenu1.items[0].enabled:=false; //does nothing
     //unitreemenu1.items[4].enabled:=false; //does nothing

The alternative is to hide the tree items - but property alone has no effect

  //  welcome1.visible:=false;   //these do nothing
  //  personalchecks1.visible:=false;

But if these are followed by the code shown in the earlier post

the top level tree item does disappear - the child level item does not.

----  So....

Although we would prefer to be able to truly show a disabled

look to unimenutree items I may have stumbled upon a workaround

to make items invisible. It seems that making the caption

of the original unimenuitem empty does the job.

 //   welcome1.caption := '';  //these make it invisible
  //   personalchecks1.caption:='';  //child item invisible now too

 

UniGUI is the greatest - and always getting better it seems
