Documentation for menuXXX comands

[Kingsley1997 39]

There's a bunch of menu commands (listed below) that have no documentation on the wiki. Are these commands discontinued or still a work in progress? Currently unable to get these to work. They would be very useful for a mod I'm making.

menuAdd
menuData
menuSetData
menuText
menuPicture
menuSetPicture
menuAction
menuSetAction
menuCollapse
menuExpand
menuDelete
menuEnable
menuEnabled
menuHover
menuSetCheck
menuSetValue
menuURL
menuValue

The blub from SPOTREP #00052 says this:

 

 

 

Added: CT_MENU and CT_MENU_STRIP control types. See CtrlMenu and CtrlMenuStrip base classes for supported config properties. The UI element can be controlled by following script commands:

 

So something to do with Eden Editor configs?

[Kingsley1997 39]

Hmm so does that mean they're only usable inside the Eden display?

[kylania 568]

Seems to be specifically for the Eden Editor.

[R3vo 2654]

All control types used in Eden can basically also be used in any other display.

Got any examples of that perhaps? :)

Not really, I am mostly using combo boxes, toolboxes and checkboxes for my 3den mod.

class MARS_gui_ctrlMenu: ctrlMenu {
    colorBorder[] = {0,0,0,0};
    colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,1};
    colorText[] = {COLOR_TEXT_RGBA};
    colorSelect[] = {0,0,0,1};
    colorSelectBackground[] = {COLOR_ACTIVE_RGBA};
    colorDisabled[] = {COLOR_TEXT_RGB,0.25};
    colorPicture[] = {1,1,1,1};
    colorPictureSelect[] = {0,0,0,1};
    colorPictureDisabled[] = {1,1,1,0.5};
    arrow = "\a3\3DEN\Data\Controls\ctrlMenu\arrow_ca.paa";

    class Items {
        class Default {
            text = "Empty";
            data = "Empty";
            enable = 0;
        };
    };
};

private _display = (findDisplay 46) createDisplay "mars_editor_interface";
private _control = _display ctrlCreate ["MARS_gui_ctrlMenu", 123456];

_control ctrlSetPosition [
    getMousePosition select 0,
    getMousePosition select 1
];

private _path = _control menuAdd [[], "Option 1"];
_control ctrlCommit 0;

systemChat str (_control menuSize []);

"Option 1" is never added and menuSize remains 0.

[Kingsley1997 39]

When hard-coding items (as shown below), they appear as expected, but not with menuAdd.

class Items {
    items[] = {One,Two,Three};

    class One {
        text = "One";
        data = "One";
        value = 0;
    };

    class Two {
        text = "Two";
        data = "Two";
        value = 1;
    };

    class Three {
        text = "Three";
        data = "Three";
        value = 2;
    };

    class Default {
        text = "Empty";
        data = "Empty";
        enable = 0;
    };
};

This is about the only other mention of those commands I'm finding.

Here's the feedback ticket for it: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T116695

The commands were added to the wiki today.

This isn't final, I will give the final touch this week. :292:

Awesome  :D

 

Any update on T116695?

[dna_uk 30]

Even on the latest dev branch the menu scripting commands do not work on a CT_MENU control, only CT_MENU_STRIP.

 

Feedback tracker is yet to have any response on the issue: T116695.

Menu commands work fine:

systemChat str (menuSize[2700, []])
// Alternative
systemChat str (((findDisplay 2500) displayCtrl 2700) menuSize [])

Says 4 for both in chat as expected (I have 4 menus).

// Let's say I only have one parent menu called Menu 1
_subMenu0 = _myMenuCtrl menuAdd [[0],"Sub Menu 0 of Menu 1"];
_myMenuCtrl menuAdd [[0,_subMenu0],"Sub Menu 0 of Sub Menu 0 of Menu 1"];
_subMenu1 = _myMenuCtrl menuAdd [[1],"Sub Menu 1 of Menu 1"];
_menu2 = _myMenuCtrl menuAdd [[],"Menu 2"];

/*
Menu 1 | Menu 2
|- Sub Menu 0
|  |- Sub Menu 0 of Sub Menu 0 of Menu 1
|- Sub Menu 1
*/

They do work exactly the same way as tree family commands (tvAdd, tvCount etc...), if you know how to mess with CT_TREE control you're gold.

For more infos unpack 3den.pbo and check fn_3DENInterface.sqf located in the Functions folder.

CT_MENU & CT_MENU_STRIP controls can be found in the UI\Controls folder (ctrlMenu.hpp & ctrlMenuStrip).

Now we can make nice context menus :)
