Menus

Overview

First of all call BaseComposite::createMainMenu it returns reference to menu that need to be modified.

You can add simple item to menu by calling Menu::addMenuItem with MenuItem class.

If you want to add a dropdown menu item, you need to follow these steps:

• Call BaseComposite::addPopupMenu
• Modify that popup menu from the previous step
• Call Menu::addMenuItem with DropDownMenuItem and set popupMenuHandle parameter with your popup menu handle

Example

void createMenus(gui_framework::SeparateWindow* ptr)
{
    using namespace gui_framework;

    unique_ptr<Menu>& menu = ptr->createMainMenu(L"MainMenu");

    menu->addMenuItem(make_unique<MenuItem>(L"First", []() { cout << "First" << endl; }));

    Menu& popup = ptr->addPopupMenu(L"Second");

    popup.addMenuItem(make_unique<MenuItem>(L"Inside", []() { cout << "Inside" << endl; }));

    menu->addMenuItem(make_unique<DropDownMenuItem>(L"Popup", popup.getHandle()));
}
