UXMenu

UXMenu is one titled menu of a UXMenuBar: a list of UXMenuItems and separators, built in display order before the bar’s install. Like every menu class it draws nothing and tracks nothing; the platform does both.

UXMenu* edit = bar.addMenu((u8*)" Edit ");
edit.addItem((u8*)"  Cut  ",  &controller.onCut);
edit.addItem((u8*)"  Copy  ", &controller.onCopy);
edit.addSeparator();
edit.addItem((u8*)"  Select All  ", &controller.onSelectAll);

Topics

addItem

UXMenuItem* addItem(u8* t, callback a void(UXMenuItem* sender))

Appends an item with its callback action and returns it, so initial state (checked, enabled) can be set before install. The callback ensures a menu never owns its controller.

addSeparator

void addSeparator(void)

Appends a separator rule. Separators never fire.

popUp

bool popUp(i32 window, i32 x, i32 y)

Shows the menu as a context menu at point (x, y) of the window’s content and fires the item picked. Returns false when the menu is dismissed, or when the backend has no pop-up menus. From 0.7 on AppKit, and on GTK and Windows from 0.71.
