Better menus and submenus

Hi,

I want to have a better way to organize menus and submenus in Moose. I
don't know if I'm stretching the platform to much, but at this moment I
don't like what I have.

Attached is a screenshot of my apprentice notebook made with Moose and
STON (as storage format). Because the idea of a notebook the actions on
it can get really diverse. I want to make somethings with the
tree/notebook, some with a project (a fossil repository with all the
history of the files that a notebook creates/needs) and some other with
tags. And because I have not named menus and submenus the one menu is
getting cluttered.

There is any way to add named menus or submenus to a moose application?

Thanks,

Offray

Re: Better menus and submenus

If you look in the GLMPresentation #act:* methods, you will see that some of them have categorized at the end. This will create a second level menu entry:

For example, for your case, you would use:

act: aBlock on: aCharacter entitled: 'Nuevo...' categorized: 'Arbol'

Cheers,

Doru

Hi!

I hesitated to answer since I do not want to push Roassal toward a UI framework (Roassal is about visualizing data, not creating user interfaces).

Maybe you want to have a look at the class RTMenuBuilderExamples. We wanted to have a lightweight way to build menu that smoothly integrate in a roassal script.

Here are some screenshots:

Cheers,

Alexandre

Re: Better menus and submenus

Hi,

I will try first Tudor's option, but I have a question, Can this menus
be put in the border of a glamorous window? for example, in the same
place where I'm putting the menus shared in the screenshot in the first
message of this tread?

Cheers,

No idea, but I do not think so

Re: Better menus and submenus

In reply to this post by Tudor Girba-2

Thanks a lot! It looks a lot better. Syntax can be a little bit
repetitive for long submenus though. May be some alternative syntax to
declare a lot of options in a submenu instead of categorizing each one
can be added in the future.

Attached is the screenshot of the new look.

Cheers,
