Hi,
I used to do this by embedding a variable named tab in the vm file, so the
other vm file could check to see which tab was being used as a screen. like
so:
navigation:
#if( $tab == "search" )
<menu code/>
#
screen:
#set( $tab = "search"
--------------------------------------------------
I've found it to be less hassle to use the screen template name, like so:
#if( $data.Parameters.Template =="Search.vm" )
<menucode/>
#end
That way you skip editing the screen..
If your submenu items are linked to the same screen, then I would imagine
you would have to use the first approach.
Hope that answers your question.
:),
Derick
