Two fixes were possible: correctly searching linked submenus, or disabeling submenu links alltogether. I decided for the later since the use of FL_SUBMENU_POINTER implies that the user knows the pointer and can search that submenu seperately, saving time when searching the main menu. git-svn-id: file:///fltk/svn/fltk/branches/branch-1.1@4384 ea41ed52-d2ee-0310-a9c1-e6b18d33e121

<H3>Description</H3>
|
||
All widgets that have a menu in FLTK are subclassed off of this class.
|
||
Currently FLTK provides you with <A href=Fl_Menu_Button.html#Fl_Menu_Button>
|
||
<TT>Fl_Menu_Button</TT></A>, <A href=Fl_Menu_Bar.html#Fl_Menu_Bar><TT>
|
||
Fl_Menu_Bar</TT></A>, and <A href=Fl_Choice.html#Fl_Choice><TT>Fl_Choice</TT>
|
||
</A>.
|
||
|
||
<P>The class contains a pointer to an array of structures of type <A
|
||
href=Fl_Menu_Item.html#Fl_Menu_Item> <TT>Fl_Menu_Item</TT></A>. The
|
||
array may either be supplied directly by the user program, or it may
|
||
be "private": a dynamically allocated array managed by the Fl_Menu_.

<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.Fl_Menu_>Fl_Menu_::Fl_Menu_(int x, int y, int w,
|
||
int h, const char *label = 0)</A></H4>
|
||
|
||
Creates a new <TT>Fl_Menu_</TT> widget using the given position, size,
|
||
and label string.<tt> menu()</tt> is initialized to null.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.~Fl_Menu_>virtual Fl_Menu_::~Fl_Menu_()</A></H4>
|
||
|
||
If the menu array is private the memory it uses is freed.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.menu>const Fl_Menu_Item* Fl_Menu_::menu()
|
||
const</a></h4>
|
||
|
||
Returns a pointer to the array of Fl_Menu_Items. This will either be
|
||
the value passed to <tt>menu(value)</tt> or the private copy.
|
||
|
||
<h4>void Fl_Menu_::menu(const Fl_Menu_Item*)</H4>
|
||
Set the menu array pointer directly. If the old menu is private it is
|
||
deleted. <tt>NULL</tt> is allowed and acts the same as a zero-length
|
||
menu. If you try to modify the array (with add(), replace(), or
|
||
delete()) a private copy is automatically done.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.mvalue>const Fl_Menu_Item* Fl_Menu_::mvalue()
|
||
const</a></h4>
|
||
|
||
<P>Returns a pointer to the last menu item that was picked.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.copy>void Fl_Menu_::copy(const
|
||
Fl_Menu_Item*, void* user_data = 0)</A></H4>
|
||
|
||
<P>The menu is set to a private copy of the passed Fl_Menu_Item
|
||
array. This is useful if you want to modify the flags of the
|
||
menu items. If the <tt>user_data</tt> argument is non-NULL, then
|
||
the <tt>user_data</tt> members of the menu items are set to the
|
||
given value.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.clear>void Fl_Menu_::clear()</A></H4>
|
||
Same as <tt>menu(NULL)</tt>, set the array pointer to null, indicating
|
||
a zero-length menu.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.size>int Fl_Menu_::size() const</A></H4>
|
||
|
||
This returns the number of Fl_Menu_Item structures that make up the
|
||
menu, correctly counting submenus. This includes the "terminator"
|
||
item at the end. To copy a menu array you need to copy
|
||
<tt>size()*sizeof(Fl_Menu_Item)</tt> bytes. If the menu is
|
||
<TT>NULL</TT> this returns zero (an empty menu will return 1).
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.add>int Fl_Menu_::add(const char* label, const
|
||
char* shortcut, Fl_Callback*, void *user_data=0, int flags=0)</a><br>
|
||
int Fl_Menu_::add(const char* label, int shortcut, Fl_Callback*,
|
||
void *user_data=0, int flags=0)</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Adds a new menu item, with a <TT>title</TT> string, <TT>
|
||
shortcut</TT> string, <TT>callback</TT>, argument to the
|
||
callback, and flags. If the menu array was directly set with
|
||
<tt>menu(x)</tt> then <tt>copy()</tt> is done to make a private
|
||
array.
|
||
|
||
<p>The characters "&", "/", "\", and "_" are treated as
|
||
special characters in the label string. The "&" character
|
||
specifies that the following character is an accelerator and
|
||
will be underlined. The "\" character is used to escape the next
|
||
character in the string. Labels starting with the "_" character
|
||
cause a divider to be placed before that menu item.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>A label of the form "foo/bar/baz" will create a
|
||
submenus called "foo" and "bar" with an
|
||
entry called "baz". The "/" character is ignored if it
|
||
appears as the first character of the label string, e.g.
|
||
"/foo/bar/baz".</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The label string is copied to new memory and can be freed.
|
||
The other arguments (including the shortcut) are copied into the
|
||
menu item unchanged. </P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If an item exists already with that name then it is replaced with
|
||
this new one. Otherwise this new one is added to the end of the
|
||
correct menu or submenu. The return value is the offset into the array
|
||
that the new entry was placed at.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Shortcut can be 0L, or either a modifier/key combination (for example
|
||
FL_CTRL+'A') or a string describing the shortcut in one of two ways:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre>
|
||
[#+^]<ascii_value><EFBFBD> eg. "97", "^97", "+97", "#97"
|
||
[#+^]<ascii_char><EFBFBD> eg. "a", "^a", "+a", "#a"
|
||
</pre>
|
||
..where <ascii_value> is a decimal value representing an
|
||
ascii character (eg. 97 is the ascii for 'a'), and the optional
|
||
prefixes enhance the value that follows. Multiple prefixes must
|
||
appear in the above order.
|
||
<pre>
|
||
# - Alt
|
||
+ - Shift
|
||
^ - Control
|
||
</pre>
|
||
Text shortcuts are converted to integer shortcut by calling
|
||
<tt>int fl_old_shortcut(const char*)</tt>.
|
||
|
||
<P>The return value is the index into the array that the entry was put. </P>
|
||
|
||
<h4>int Fl_Menu_::add(const char *)</H4>
|
||
|
||
<P>The passed string is split at any '|' characters and then
|
||
<TT>add(s,0,0,0,0)</TT> is done with each section. This is
|
||
often useful if you are just using the value, and is compatible
|
||
with Forms and other GL programs. The section strings use the
|
||
same special characters as described for the long version of <a
|
||
href='#Fl_Menu_.add'><tt>add()</tt></a></p>
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.replace>void Fl_Menu_::replace(int n, const char *)</A>
|
||
</H4>
|
||
|
||
Changes the text of item <TT>n</TT>. This is the only way to get
|
||
slash into an add()'ed menu item. If the menu array was directly set
|
||
with menu(x) then copy() is done to make a private array.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.remove>void Fl_Menu_::remove(int n)</A></H4>
|
||
|
||
Deletes item <TT>n</TT> from the menu. If the menu array was directly
|
||
set with menu(x) then copy() is done to make a private array.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.shortcut>void Fl_Menu_::shortcut(int i, int n);</A></H4>
|
||
|
||
Changes the shortcut of item <TT>i</TT> to <TT>n</TT>.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.mode>void Fl_Menu_::mode(int i, int x);</A></H4>
|
||
|
||
Changes the flags of item <TT>i</TT>. For a list of the flags, see <a
|
||
href=Fl_Menu_Item.html>Fl_Menu_Item</a>.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.value>int Fl_Menu_::value() const
|
||
<BR> int Fl_Menu_::value(int)
|
||
<BR> const Fl_Menu_Item* mvalue() const
|
||
<BR> int Fl_Menu_::value(const Fl_Menu_Item*)</A></H4>
|
||
The value is the index into <TT>menu()</TT> of the last item chosen by
|
||
the user. It is zero initially. You can set it as an integer, or set
|
||
it with a pointer to a menu item. The set routines return non-zero if
|
||
the new value is different than the old one.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.test_shortcut>const Fl_Menu_Item*
|
||
Fl_Menu_::test_shortcut()</A></H4>
|
||
Only call this in response to <TT>FL_SHORTCUT events</TT>. If the
|
||
event matches an entry in the menu that entry is selected and the
|
||
callback will be done (or <TT>changed()</TT> will be set). This allows
|
||
shortcuts directed at one window to call menus in another.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.global>void Fl_Menu_::global()</A></H4>
|
||
Make the shortcuts for this menu work no matter what window has the
|
||
focus when you type it. This is done by using <A href=osissues.html#add_handler>
|
||
<TT>Fl::add_handler()</TT></A>. This <TT>Fl_Menu_</TT> widget does not
|
||
have to be visible (ie the window it is in can be hidden, or it does
|
||
not have to be put in a window at all).
|
||
<P>Currently there can be only one <TT>global()</TT>menu. Setting a new
|
||
one will replace the old one. There is no way to remove the <TT>
|
||
global()</TT> setting (so don't destroy the widget!)</P>
|
||
|
||
<h4><a name="Fl_Menu_.find_item">const Fl_Menu_Item *Fl_Menu_::find_item(const char *name);</a></h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Returns a pointer to the menu item with the given (full)
|
||
pathname. If no matching menu item can be found, a NULL pointer
|
||
is returned. This function does not search submenus that are linked
|
||
via FL_SUBMENU_POINTER.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4><a name=Fl_Menu_.item_pathname>int Fl_Menu_::item_pathname(char *name, int namelen ) const;</a><br>
|
||
int Fl_Menu_::item_pathname(char *name, int namelen,
|
||
const Fl_Menu_Item *finditem) const;</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Returns the 'menu pathname' (eg. "File/Quit") for the recently picked item in user supplied string 'name'. Useful in the callback function for a menu item, to determine the last picked item's 'menu pathname' string.
|
||
|
||
<p>If finditem is specified, name will contain the 'menu pathname' for that item.
|
||
|
||
<p>Returns:
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>0 - OK: 'name' has the pathname, guaranteed not longer than namelen
|
||
<li>-1 - Failed: 'finditem' was not found in the menu
|
||
<li>-2 - Failed: 'name' is not large enough to handle the menu names
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>In the case of errors (-1 or -2), 'name' will be an empty string.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.text>const char* Fl_Menu_::text() const
|
||
<BR> const char* Fl_Menu_::text(int i) const</A></H4>
|
||
Returns the title of the last item chosen, or of item <TT>i</TT>.
|
||
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.textcolor>Fl_Color Fl_Menu_::textcolor() const
|
||
<BR> void Fl_Menu_::textcolor(Fl_Color)</A></H4>
|
||
Get or set the current color of menu item labels.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.textfont>Fl_Font Fl_Menu_::textfont() const
|
||
<BR> void Fl_Menu_::textfont(Fl_Font)</A></H4>
|
||
Get or set the current font of menu item labels.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.textsize>uchar Fl_Menu_::textsize() const
|
||
<BR> void Fl_Menu_::textsize(uchar)</A></H4>
|
||
Get or set the font size of menu item labels.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Menu_.down_box>Fl_Boxtype Fl_Menu_::down_box() const
|
||
<BR> void Fl_Menu_::down_box(Fl_Boxtype)</A></H4>
|
||
This box type is used to surround the currently-selected items in the
|
||
menus. If this is <TT>FL_NO_BOX</TT> then it acts like <TT>
|
||
FL_THIN_UP_BOX</TT> and <TT>selection_color()</TT> acts like <TT>
|
||
FL_WHITE</TT>, for back compatability. </BODY></HTML>
