A menu presented in a popup window.
The menu implements a typical context menu, with support for submenu's. It is not to be confused with WMenu which implements an always-visible navigation menu for a web application.
When initially created, the menu is invisible, until popup() or exec() is called. Then, the menu will remain visible until an item is selected, or the user cancels the menu (by hitting Escape or clicking elsewhere).
The implementation assumes availability of JavaScript to position the menu at the current mouse position and provide feed-back of the currently selected item.
Similar in use as WDialog, there are two ways of using the menu. The simplest way is to use one of the exec() methods, to use a reentrant event loop and wait until the user cancelled the popup menu (by hitting Escape or clicking elsewhere), or selected an item.
Alternatively, you can use one of the popup() methods to show the menu and listen to the aboutToHide signal where you read the result().
You have several options to react to the selection of an item:
Usage example:
// Create a menu with some items WPopupMenu popup; popup.addItem("icons/item1.gif", "Item 1"); popup.addItem("Item 2")->setCheckable(true); popup.addItem("Item 3"); popup.addSeparator(); popup.addItem("Item 4"); popup.addSeparator(); popup.addItem("Item 5"); popup.addItem("Item 6"); popup.addSeparator(); WPopupMenu *subMenu = new WPopupMenu(); subMenu->addItem("Sub Item 1"); subMenu->addItem("Sub Item 2"); popup.addMenu("Item 7", subMenu); WPopupMenuItem *item = popup.exec(event); if (item) { // ... do associated action. }
A WPopupMenu has the Wt-popupmenu
style class. The look can be overridden using the following style class selectors:
.Wt-popupmenu .Wt-item, .Wt-popupmenu .Wt-selected : item .Wt-popupmenu .Wt-selected : selected item .Wt-popupmenu .Wt-separator : separator

Reimplemented from Wt::WCompositeWidget.
Sets a maximum size.
Specifies a maximum size for this widget, setting CSS max-width
and max-height
properties.
The default the maximum width and height are WLength::Auto, indicating no maximum size. A WLength::Percentage size should not be used, as this is (in virtually all cases) undefined behaviour.
When the widget is a container widget that contains a layout manager, then setting a maximum size will have the effect of letting the size of the container to reflect the preferred size of the contents (rather than constraining the size of the children based on the size of the container), up to the specified maximum size.
Reimplemented from Wt::WCompositeWidget.
Sets a minimum size.
Specifies a minimum size for this widget, setting CSS min-width
and min-height
properties.
The default minimum width and height is 0. The special value WLength::Auto indicates that the initial width is used as minimum size. A WLength::Percentage size should not be used, as this is (in virtually all cases) undefined behaviour.
When the widget is inserted in a layout manager, then the minimum size will be taken into account.
