CXMenu

Extension

Description

This is an old class. Pending deprecation.

A pop up menu that does its action and closes itself after you select an item.

The difference between this and PopUpMenu is that here there are separate functions for each menu item, and with PopUpMenu there is one action.( m = CXMenu( \soup->{ "soup".postln; }, \pork->{ "pork".postln; }, \duck->{ "duck".postln; }, \tiramisu->{ "tiramisu".postln; } ); m.gui(nil); ) ( m = CXMenu( \myName->{ "you hit myName".postln; }, \yourName->{ "you hit yourName".postln; } ); m.closeOnSelect = false; m.gui; )

Examples

On another layout( Sheet({ arg f; CXLabel(f,"partials:"); f.startRow; m = CXMenu.newWith( Array.fill(15,{ arg i; i.asString.asSymbol -> { i.postln } }) ); m.closeOnSelect = false; m.gui(f); }) )

You can add things to the menu above m.add(\more->{ "more".postln; });

On a normal Window( w = GUI.window.new; w.front; x = CXMenu( \a -> { "a".postln },\b -> { "b".postln },\c -> { "c".postln }); x.closeOnSelect = false; x.gui(w); )

Note that the arrow keys work to navigate once you are focused on any of the buttons.( m = CXMenu( \myName->{ "you hit myName".postln; }, \yourName->{ "you hit yourName".postln; } ); m.closeOnSelect = false; m.gui; ) ( 20.do({ m.add(\more->{ "more".postln; }); }) )
