Hi,
I need to create a menu with submenus on the console's menubar, like
for the Preferences/Colors item that proposes 2 sub-items Background |
Font.
addmenu() looks the only way for creating menus in the console, unless
there is a console handle that could be use with uimenu(). How is it
possible to retrieve the console's handle ?
Or what's the syntaxe with addmenu() to create items with sub-menus ?
Thanks for any hint.

I have found that default menus of the console are defined through the
file ~SCI\modules\gui\etc\main_menubar.xml , that can be successfully
customized in a fixed and limited way, by hand.
Now, I am looking for a way for doing that in a dynamical way, from a
script.
Any trick would still be welcome.

In fact addmenu is a short cut above the uimenu function

You can do what you whant this way:

h = uimenu("parent", 0, "label", 'zzzz'); //creates a new menu in the
menu bar
h1=uimenu("parent", h, "label", 'yyyy');// creates a submenu
h11=uimenu("parent", h1, "label", 'tttt','callback','foo');
h2=uimenu("parent", h, "label", 'aaaa','callback','zoo');// creates
another  submenu

Thank you! i will try that. This trick is undocumented in the help
uimenu page: "parent" is not in the list of authorized properties for
uimenu(). #0 as the console is no more documented in this page.
I guess that there should be comparable hidden parent number for the
window of each manager (help, atoms, etc)
