View Mode

To view this property in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs, activate the Advanced view mode.

Parameters

The property has the following parameter:

Item

Specifies the desired item. You can enter the item’s index (from 0) or its caption. The caption can contain asterisk (*) or question mark (?) wildcards or regular expressions. The asterisk (*) corresponds to a string of any length (including an empty string), the question mark corresponds to any single character (including none). To specify more complicated parts of a caption, use regular expressions.

The caption can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting.

Property Value

A Menu object that corresponds to the item’s drop-down menu. If the item does not have a menu, or the item does not exist, the property returns an empty value (Nothing in VBScript, None in Python, null in JavaScript, JScript, C++Script and C#Script and nil in DelphiScript).

Remarks

If you use Python or DelphiScript, you should enclose the parameter of the wDropDownMenu property in square brackets: wDropDownMenu[Item].

After you obtain the menu, you can select items from this menu using the returned object. See the Menu object description for more information about available menu actions.
