addToolButton to execMenuItem not working

You can not pass the same type of quote within a quoted string without using the escape character or using a different quote charcter.

app.addToolButton({cName: "BatchEdit",
cExec:"app.execMenuItem(\"BatchEdit\");",
cTooltext:"Run Batch"});

You may also have to deal with secruity restrictions added by version 8.

This still isn't working. It only adds the button to the toolbar.

Have you read the JavaScript Reference for version 8 regarding the "execMenuItem" method?

"BatchEdit" is not listed as one of the safe items to be used. The documentation also explains 2 work arounds.

I think I'm almost there. I saved the recomended "myTrustedMenu" to the JavaScript folder:

myTrustedMenu = app.trustedFunction( function( name )
}
app.beginPriv();
app.execMenuItem();
app.endPriv();
});


I'm now executing the following from the console:

app.addToolButton({cName: "BatchEdit", cExec:" app.execMenuItem(myTrustedMenu ( 'BatchEdit' ) );",cTooltext:"Run Batch"});

Again the button appears, but has no action. And I'm getting the following error:

App.execMenuItem:4:App BatchEdit:Exec
===> Parameter cMenuItem.Im not sure if I'm nesting them correctly.

Got it to work finally!

Used:

myTrustedMenu = app.trustedFunction( function( name )
{
app.beginPriv();
app.execMenuItem(name);
app.endPriv();
});

In the JavaScript folder

and ran:

app.addToolButton({cName: "BatchEdit", cExec:"myTrustedMenu
'BatchEdit');",cTooltext:"Run Batch"});

from the console.

Thanks for the help :-)
