Shortcut and Dropdown Menus
You can create shortcut and dropdown menus in the following situations:
• Shortcut menu assigned to a tree control and customized in context for its nodes.
• Shortcut menu assigned to a table control and customized in context for its cells and rows.
• Dropdown menus for button controls.
• Dropdown menus for toolbar buttons controls.
When implemented, shortcut menus are displayed by placing the mouse cursor over the control and right-clicking. Shortcut menus are also displayed by pressing the Application key when the control has focus. Dropdown menus are displayed by left-clicking on a control and by activating a control when it has focus.
The Acl event notification API supports menus within XUI dialog boxes. Menus can be specified in menu configuration files as well, but the event management for these menus does not use the Acl event enhancements. Instead, event management is specified within the configuration files.
An example application of XUI menus with menu bars, controls, and tool bars is provided in the following directory:
