Detailed Description

Menu item class.

Library: ilvgadgt

The class IlvMenuItem implements the items appearing in pop-up menus (IlvPopupMenu) or in menu bars (IlvMenuBar, IlvToolBar). A menu item can display a label, a bitmap, a graphic object and can be used as a separator.

See also: IlvAbstractMenu, IlvPopupMenu, IlvAbstractBar, IlvToolBar, IlvMenuBar.

Accessors

Accessors provide a scriptable and uniform way to inspect and modify an object by using its base class methods IlvValueInterface::queryValue(), IlvValueInterface::queryValues(), IlvValueInterface::changeValue(), IlvValueInterface::changeValues(). This class inherits the accessors of its superclass IlvGadgetItem and adds the following ones:

Name	Type	Equivalent methods

		IlUShort &	height
	)		const

protectedvirtual

Computes the item size.

Computes the size of the item using the member function IlvGadgetItem::computeRects(), which specifies the location of the label and picture parts. If you want to change the item size, you can override this member function in a subclass.

Parameters

width	The returned item width.
height	The returned item height.

See also: computeRects(), recomputeSize(), getWidth(), getHeight().

Reimplemented from IlvGadgetItem.

virtual void IlvMenuItem::deSelect ( )

virtual

Deselects the item.

The default implementation deselects and redraws the item, then it calls the holder method IlvGadgetItemHolder::itemDeSelected().

See also: isSelected(), select(), SelectedBitmapSymbol().

Reimplemented from IlvGadgetItem.

void IlvMenuItem::detachMenu ( IlBoolean destroy = IlFalse )

Suppresses the IlvPopupMenu associated with the menu item.

Parameters

dst	The destination drawing port.
palette	The palette used to draw the item label.
rect	The rectangle where to the item label will be drawn.
t	The transformer used to draw the item label.
clip	The clipping area.

See also: draw(), drawPicture(), itemRect().

Reimplemented from IlvGadgetItem.

IlUShort IlvMenuItem::getAcceleratorKey ( ) const

Returns the accelerator key of the menu item.

Returns: The accelerator key. Used in combination with the modifier keys it provides a quick access to the callback attached to the menu item.

See also: setAcceleratorKey(), getAcceleratorModifiers(), getAcceleratorText().

IlUShort IlvMenuItem::getAcceleratorModifiers ( ) const

Returns the combination of modifiers used with the menu item accelerator.

Returns: The combination of modifiers, such as IlvCtrlModifier or IlvShiftModifier, that should be used in combination with the accelerator key to invoke the menu item callback (see IlvEvent::modifiers()).

See also: setAcceleratorText(), getAcceleratorModifiers(), getAcceleratorKey().

virtual IlUInt IlvMenuItem::getBitmapMask ( ) const

virtual

Returns the bitmap mask of the item.

The bitmap mask lets you know which bitmap indexes the item is handling. If the i^th bit of the return value is set, it means that the item uses the bitmap of index i. You can get the associated symbol using the static member function GetItemBitmapSymbol().

Returns: The bitmap mask of the item.

See also: GetItemBitmapSymbol(), getBitmap(IlUShort).

Reimplemented from IlvGadgetItem.

See also: getLabel().

Reimplemented from IlvGadgetItem.

const char* IlvMenuItem::getToolTip ( ) const

Returns the message used in the tooltip associated with the menu item.

Returns: The message used in the tooltip associated with this menu item or 0 if there is none.

See also: setToolTip().

IlvMenuItemType IlvMenuItem::getType ( ) const

IlBoolean IlvMenuItem::isRadioToggle ( ) const

Returns the radio state of the menu item.

Returns: IlTrue if the menu item is radio. When an item is radio and is located in an IlvPopupMenu, a radio toggle check mark appears next to it, whether the item is checked or not.

Note: A radio toggle appears as a diamond under Motif and as a circle under Windows/Windows 95/ViewsX.

See also: setRadioToggle(), IlvPopupMenu.

IlBoolean IlvMenuItem::isReadOnly ( ) const

Indicates whether the menu item is read-only.

A menu entry can be read-only. A read-only menu item cannot be selected.

Returns: IlTrue if the menu item is read-only and IlFalse otherwise.

See also: setReadOnly().

virtual IlBoolean IlvMenuItem::isSelectable ( ) const

virtual

See also: setToggle().

virtual void IlvMenuItem::select ( )

virtual
