Data Dynamics Active List Bar
In Studio, you interact with the Data Dynamics Active List Bar just as you do with standard interface controls, such as a Windows form button. A Data Dynamics Active List Bar is interrogated in the same manner as standard controls. In turn, the interrogated objects appear in Object Explorer window, ready for use in solution automations.
Keep in mind...
When interrogating, if you interrogate the toolbar on the main window, you will probably see a box around the menu itself that does not include the toolbar. However, that ActiveBar actually encompasses both the main menu and the toolbar below it.
Sometimes it is not obvious what Index you should use for a given item on the ActiveBar. It depends on how the buttons were put into the ActiveBar originally. To determine your desired index:
Drag the Click event on the automation surface from the ActiveBar you are interested in.
Connect it to a MessageDialog block and connect the index of the Click event to the message of the MessageDialog.
If you want, also connect the caption of the click event to the caption of the MessageDialog. This lets you see the name of the button you click, if it has one.
Start the automation and click the button you are interested in. You should see a message box with the index you need.
