Implements

Constructors

Properties

Accessors

  • get aboutToClose(): ISignal<this, void>
  • A signal emitted just before the menu is closed.

    Notes

    This signal is emitted when the menu receives a 'close-request' message, just before it removes itself from the DOM.

    This signal is not emitted if the menu is already detached from the DOM when it receives the 'close-request' message.

    Returns ISignal<this, void>

  • get activeIndex(): number
  • Get the index of the currently active menu item.

    Notes

    This will be -1 if no menu item is active.

    Returns number

  • set activeIndex(value): void
  • Set the index of the currently active menu item.

    Notes

    If the item cannot be activated, the index will be set to -1.

    Parameters

    • value: number

    Returns void

  • get activeItem(): null | IItem
  • Get the currently active menu item.

    Returns null | IItem

  • set activeItem(value): void
  • Set the currently active menu item.

    Notes

    If the item cannot be activated, the item will be set to null.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • get childMenu(): null | Menu
  • The child menu of the menu.

    Notes

    This is null unless the menu has an open submenu.

    Returns null | Menu

  • get contentNode(): HTMLUListElement
  • The menu content node.

    Notes

    This is the node which holds the menu item nodes.

    Modifying this node directly can lead to undefined behavior.

    Returns HTMLUListElement

  • get dataset(): DOMStringMap
  • The dataset for the widget's DOM node.

    Returns DOMStringMap

  • get disposed(): ISignal<this, void>
  • A signal emitted when the widget is disposed.

    Returns ISignal<this, void>

  • get hiddenMode(): HiddenMode
  • Get the method for hiding the widget.

    Returns HiddenMode

  • set hiddenMode(value): void
  • Set the method for hiding the widget.

    Parameters

    • value: HiddenMode

    Returns void

  • get id(): string
  • Get the id of the widget's DOM node.

    Returns string

  • set id(value): void
  • Set the id of the widget's DOM node.

    Parameters

    • value: string

    Returns void

  • get isAttached(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget's node is attached to the DOM.

    Returns boolean

  • get isDisposed(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget has been disposed.

    Returns boolean

  • get isHidden(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget is explicitly hidden.

    Returns boolean

  • get isVisible(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget is visible.

    Notes

    A widget is visible when it is attached to the DOM, is not explicitly hidden, and has no explicitly hidden ancestors.

    Returns boolean

  • get items(): readonly IItem[]
  • A read-only array of the menu items in the menu.

    Returns readonly IItem[]

  • get layout(): null | Layout
  • Get the layout for the widget.

    Returns null | Layout

  • set layout(value): void
  • Set the layout for the widget.

    Notes

    The layout is single-use only. It cannot be changed after the first assignment.

    The layout is disposed automatically when the widget is disposed.

    Parameters

    • value: null | Layout

    Returns void

  • get leafMenu(): Menu
  • The leaf menu of the menu hierarchy.

    Returns Menu

  • A signal emitted when a new menu is requested by the user.

    Notes

    This signal is emitted whenever the user presses the right or left arrow keys, and a submenu cannot be opened or closed in response.

    This signal is useful when implementing menu bars in order to open the next or previous menu in response to a user key press.

    This signal is only emitted for the root menu in a hierarchy.

    Returns ISignal<this, "next" | "previous">

  • get parent(): null | Widget
  • Get the parent of the widget.

    Returns null | Widget

  • set parent(value): void
  • Set the parent of the widget.

    Notes

    Children are typically added to a widget by using a layout, which means user code will not normally set the parent widget directly.

    The widget will be automatically removed from its old parent.

    This is a no-op if there is no effective parent change.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • get parentMenu(): null | Menu
  • The parent menu of the menu.

    Notes

    This is null unless the menu is an open submenu.

    Returns null | Menu

  • get rank(): undefined | number
  • Menu rank.

    Returns undefined | number

  • get rootMenu(): Menu
  • The root menu of the menu hierarchy.

    Returns Menu

  • get title(): Title<Widget>
  • The title object for the widget.

    Notes

    The title object is used by some container widgets when displaying the widget alongside some title, such as a tab panel or side bar.

    Since not all widgets will use the title, it is created on demand.

    The owner property of the title is set to this widget.

    Returns Title<Widget>

Methods

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for posting the message.

    Notes

    If no item is selectable, the index will be set to -1.

    Returns void

  • Activate the previous selectable item in the menu.

    Notes

    If no item is selectable, the index will be set to -1.

    Returns void

  • Add a class name to the widget's DOM node.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Add a group of menu items specific to a particular plugin.

    The rank can be set for all items in the group using the function argument or per item.

    Notes

    This will not typically be called directly by user code.

    Parameters

    • flag: Flag

      The menu will be attached under the host element in the DOM (or document.body if host is null) and before the ref element (or as the last child of host if ref is null). The menu may be displayed outside of the host element following the rules of CSS absolute positioning.

      This is a no-op if the menu is already attached to the DOM.

    Returns void

    Returns void

  • Remove the item at a given index from the menu.

    Parameters

    • index: number

      The index of the item to remove.

      Notes

      This is a no-op if the index is out of range.

    Returns void

  • Set the given widget flag.

    Notes

    This will not typically be called directly by user code.

    Parameters

    • flag: Flag

    Returns void

  • Show or hide the widget according to a boolean value.

    Parameters

    • hidden: boolean

      true to hide the widget, or false to show it.

      Notes

      This is a convenience method for hide() and show().

    Returns void

  • Show the widget and make it visible to its parent widget.

    Notes

    This causes the isHidden property to be false.

    If the widget is not explicitly hidden, this is a no-op.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The class name to toggle on the node.

    true if the class is now present, false otherwise.

    Notes

    The class name must not contain whitespace.

  • Trigger the active menu item.

    Notes

    If the active item is a submenu, it will be opened and the first item will be activated.

    If the active item is a command, the command will be executed.

    If the menu is not attached, this is a no-op.

    If there is no active item, this is a no-op.

    Returns void

  • Post an 'update-request' message to the widget.

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for posting the message.

    Returns void

  • Save window data used for menu positioning in transient cache.

    In order to avoid layout trashing it is recommended to invoke this method immediately prior to opening the menu and any DOM modifications (like closing previously visible menu, or adding a class to menu widget).

    The transient cache will be released upon open() call.

    Returns void
