NAME `Tickit::Widget::Menu' - display a menu of choices SYNOPSIS use Tickit; use Tickit::Widget::Menu; use Tickit::Widget::Menu::Item; my $tickit = Tickit->new; my $menu = Tickit::Widget::Menu->new( items => [ Tickit::Widget::Menu::Item->new( name => "Exit", on_activate => sub { $tickit->stop } ), ], ); $menu->popup( $tickit->rootwin, 5, 5 ); $tickit->run; DESCRIPTION This widget class acts as a display container for a list of items representing individual choices. It can be displayed as a floating window using the `popup' method, or attached to a Tickit::Widget::MenuBar or as a child menu within another `Tickit::Widget::Menu'. This widget is intended to be displayed transiently, either as a pop-up menu over some other widget, or as a child menu of another menu or an instance of a menu bar. Specifically, such objects should not be directly added to container widgets. CONSTRUCTOR $menu = Tickit::Widget::Menu->new( %args ) Constructs a new `Tickit::Widget::Menu' object. Takes the following named arguments: name => STRING Optional. If present, gives the name of the menu item for a submenu. Not used in a top-level menu. items => ARRAY Optional. If present, contains a list of `Tickit::Widget::Menu::Item' or `Tickit::Widget::Menu' objects to add to the menu. Equivalent to psasing each to the `push_item' method after construction. METHODS $name = $menu->name Returns the string name for the menu. @items = $menu->items Returns the list of items currently stored. $menu->push_item( $item ) Adds another item. $menu->popup( $win, $line, $col ) Makes the menu appear at the given position relative to the given window. Note that as `$win->make_popup' is called, the menu is always displayed in a popup window, floating over the root window. Passed window is used simply as the origin for the given line and column position. $menu->dismiss Hides a menu previously displayed using `popup'. AUTHOR Paul Evans
