Dear Daniel,

Could you give some examples of the ways you used ActionMenu with NotebookApply?

Thank you beforehand for your answer.

Kindest Regards.

Dear Rohit,

I am Gianni Mocellin from Geneva, Switzerland, and I took notice of your prompt answer to the very interesting question by Mario Veruete.

I have a similar issue but instead of using Print, I have a FormFunction that does not execute from a menu in a Palette.

Thank you beforehand for your help, if possible.

Kindest regards.

Gianni

createQuantity := FormFunction[
   "quantity list" ->
    RepeatingElement[
     CompoundElement[
      <|
       "Property" -> "String",
       "Unit" -> "Expression",
       "Magnitude" -> "Expression"
       |>
      ]
     ],
   AppearanceRules ->
    <|
     "Title" -> "Enter an quantity"
     |>
   ];
createQuantity[]

CreatePalette[
 Grid[
  {
   {
    ActionMenu[
     "Logo",
     {"About" :> NotebookApply[SelectedNotebook[], "Info"]}
     ],
    ActionMenu[
     "Menu 1",
     {
      "Action 1.1" :> createQuantity[],
      "Action 1.2" :> Print[2 + 2]
      }
     ]
    }
   },
  Frame -> All]
 ]

Hi Mario,

Is this what you are trying to accomplish?

CreatePalette[Grid[{{
    ActionMenu[
     "Logo", {"About" :> NotebookApply[SelectedNotebook[], "Info"]}],
    ActionMenu["Menu 1",
     {"Action 1.1" :> NotebookApply[SelectedNotebook[], "foo"],
      "Action 1.2" :> NotebookApply[SelectedNotebook[], 2 + 2]}]}},
  Frame -> All]]
