Detailed Description

A single item in a menu.

Since Wt 3.3.0, this item is now a proper widget, which renders a single item in a menu.

An optional contents item can be associated with a menu item, which is inserted and shown in the widget stack of the menu to which this menu item belongs.

CSS

A menu item renders as a >li&;lt with additional markup/style classes provided by the theme. Unless you use the bootstrap theme, you will need to provide appropriate CSS.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumeration that determines when contents should be loaded.

Enumerator
LazyLoading 

Lazy loading: on first use.

PreLoading 

Pre-loading: before first use.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Wt::WMenuItem::WMenuItem ( const WString label,
WWidget contents = 0,
LoadPolicy  policy = LazyLoading 
)

Creates a new item with given label.

The optional contents is a widget that will be shown in the WMenu contents stack when the item is selected. For this widget, a load policy specifies whether the contents widgets is transmitted only when it the item is activated for the first time (LazyLoading) or transmitted prior to first rendering.

If the menu supports internal path navigation, then a default pathComponent() will be derived from the label, and can be customized using setPathComponent().

Member Function Documentation

WAnchor * Wt::WMenuItem::anchor ( ) const

Returns the anchor of this menu item.

Can be used to add widgets to the menu.

WCheckBox* Wt::WMenuItem::checkBox ( ) const

Returns the checkbox for a checkable item.

See also
setCheckable()
void Wt::WMenuItem::close ( )

Closes this item.

Hides the item widget and emits WMenu::itemClosed() signal. Only closeable items can be closed.

See also
setCloseable(), hide()
WWidget * Wt::WMenuItem::contents ( ) const

Returns the contents widget for this item.

See also
setContents()
void* Wt::WMenuItem::data ( ) const

Returns additional data of the item.

See also
setData()
void Wt::WMenuItem::enableAjax ( )
virtual

Progresses to an Ajax-enabled widget.

This method is called when the progressive bootstrap method is used, and support for AJAX has been detected. The default behavior will upgrade the widget's event handling to use AJAX instead of full page reloads, and propagate the call to its children.

You may want to reimplement this method if you want to make changes to widget when AJAX is enabled. You should always call the base implementation.

See also
WApplication::enableAjax()

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

std::string Wt::WMenuItem::icon ( ) const

Returns the item icon path.

See also
setIcon()
bool Wt::WMenuItem::internalPathEnabled ( ) const
virtual

Returns whether an item participates in internal paths.

See also
setInternalPathEnabled()
bool Wt::WMenuItem::isCheckable ( ) const

Returns whether the item is checkable.

See also
setCheckable()
bool Wt::WMenuItem::isChecked ( ) const

Returns the checked state.

This is only used when isCheckable() == true.

See also
setChecked(bool), isCheckable()
bool Wt::WMenuItem::isCloseable ( ) const

Returns whether the item is closeable.

See also
setCloseable()
bool Wt::WMenuItem::isSectionHeader ( ) const

Returns whether this item is a section header.

See also
WMenu::addSectionHeader()
bool Wt::WMenuItem::isSelectable ( ) const

Returns whether the menu item can be selected.

See also
setSelectable()
bool Wt::WMenuItem::isSeparator ( ) const

Returns whether this item is a separator.

See also
WMenu::addSeparator()
WWidget * Wt::WMenuItem::itemWidget ( )

Returns the widget that represents the item (deprecated).

This returns this.

Deprecated:
This is a pre-Wt 3.3.0 artifact which has lost its value since WMenuItem is now a widget.
WLink Wt::WMenuItem::link ( ) const

Returns the associated link.

See also
setLink()
AnchorTarget Wt::WMenuItem::linkTarget ( ) const

Returns the link target.

See also
setLinkTarget()
WMenu* Wt::WMenuItem::menu ( ) const

Returns the submenu.

See also
setMenu()
std::string Wt::WMenuItem::pathComponent ( ) const
virtual

Returns the path component for this item.

You may want to reimplement this to customize the path component set by the item in the application internal path.

See also
setPathComponent()
Note
the path component is UTF8 encoded (we may fix the API to use WString in the future).
void Wt::WMenuItem::render ( WFlags< RenderFlag flags)
protectedvirtual

Renders the widget.

This function renders the widget (or an update for the widget), after this has been scheduled using scheduleRender().

The default implementation will render the widget by serializing changes to JavaScript and HTML. You may want to reimplement this widget if you have been postponing some of the layout / rendering implementation until the latest moment possible. In that case you should make sure you call the base implementation however.

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

void Wt::WMenuItem::renderSelected ( bool  selected)
virtual

Renders the item as selected or unselected.

The default implementation sets the styleclass for itemWidget() to 'item' for an unselected not closeable, 'itemselected' for selected not closeable, 'citem' for an unselected closeable and 'citemselected' for selected closeable item.

Note that this method is called from within a stateless slot implementation, and thus should be stateless as well.

void Wt::WMenuItem::select ( )

Selects this item.

If the item was previously closed it will be shown.

See also
close()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setCheckable ( bool  checkable)

Sets if the item is checkable.

When an item is checkable, a checkbox is displayed to the left of the item text (instead of an icon).

See also
setChecked(), isChecked()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setChecked ( bool  checked)

Sets the checked state.

This is only used when isCheckable() == true.

See also
setCheckable(bool), isCheckable()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setCloseable ( bool  closeable)

Make it possible to close this item interactively or by close().

See also
close(), isCloseable()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setContents ( WWidget contents,
LoadPolicy  policy = LazyLoading 
)

Sets the contents widget for this item.

The contents is a widget that will be shown in the WMenu contents stack when the item is selected. For this widget, the load policy specifies whether the contents widgets is transmitted only when it the item is activated for the first time (LazyLoading) or transmitted prior to first rendering.

void Wt::WMenuItem::setData ( void *  data)

Sets associated additional data with the item.

You can use this to associate model information with a menu item.

void Wt::WMenuItem::setDisabled ( bool  disabled)
virtual

Sets whether the widget is disabled.

Enables or disables the widget (including all its descendant widgets). setDisabled(false) will enable this widget and all descendant widgets that are not disabled. A widget is only enabled if it and all its ancestors in the widget tree are disabled.

Typically, a disabled form widget will not allow changing the value, and disabled widgets will not react to mouse click events.

Note
enable() and disable() are considered to be stateless slots by default. If you override setDisabled() and need to modify server state whenever it is called, you'll need to call WObject::isNotStateless().

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

void Wt::WMenuItem::setHidden ( bool  hidden,
const WAnimation animation = WAnimation() 
)
virtual

Hides or shows the widget.

Hides or show the widget (including all its descendant widgets). When setting hidden = false, this widget and all descendant widgets that are not hidden will be shown. A widget is only visible if it and all its ancestors in the widget tree are visible, which may be checked using isVisible().

Note
hide() and show() are considered to be stateless slots by default. If you override setHidden() and need to modify server state whenever it is called, you'll need to call WObject::isNotStateless().

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

void Wt::WMenuItem::setIcon ( const std::string &  path)

Sets the item icon path.

The icon should have a width of 16 pixels.

setText()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setInternalPathEnabled ( bool  enabled)
virtual

Configures internal path support for the item.

This configures whether the item supports internal paths (in a menu which supports internal paths).

The default value is true for all items but section headers and separators.

WMenu::setInternalPathEnabled()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setLink ( const WLink link)

Sets the associated link.

See also
Link()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setLinkTarget ( AnchorTarget  target)

Sets the link target.

setLink()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setMenu ( WMenu menu)

Sets a sub menu.

Ownership of the subMenu is transferred to the item. In most cases, the sub menu would use the same contents stack as the parent menu.

Note that adding a submenu makes this item not selectable by default.

Note
If the parent menu is a WPopupMenu, the submenu should also be a WPopupMenu.

setSelectable()
void Wt::WMenuItem::setPathComponent ( const std::string &  path)
virtual

Sets the path component for this item.

The path component is used by the menu item in the application internal path (see WApplication::setInternalPath()), when internal paths are enabled (see WMenu::setInternalPathEnabled()) for the menu.

You may specify an empty path to let a menu item be the "default" menu option.

For example, if WMenu::internalBasePath() is "/examples/" and pathComponent() for is "charts/", then the internal path for the item will be "/examples/charts/".

By default, the path is automatically derived from text(). If a literal text is used, the path is based on the text itself, otherwise on the key. It is converted to lower case, and replacing white space and special characters with '_'.

See also
setText(), WMenu::setInternalPathEnabled()
Note
the path should be UTF8 encoded (we may fix the API to use WString in the future).
void Wt::WMenuItem::setSelectable ( bool  selectable)
virtual

Sets whether the menu item can be selected.

Only a menu item that can be selected can be the result of a popup menu selection.

The default value is true for a normal menu item, and false for a menu item that has a submenu.

An item that is selectable but is disabled can still not be selected.

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

void Wt::WMenuItem::setSubMenu ( WMenu menu)

Sets a sub menu (deprecated)

Deprecated:
use setMenu() instead
void Wt::WMenuItem::setText ( const WString text)

Sets the text for this item.

Unless a custom path component was defined, the pathComponent() is also updated based on the new text.

The item widget is updated using updateItemWidget().

See also
setPathComponent();
const WString & Wt::WMenuItem::text ( ) const

Returns the text for this item.

See also
setText();
Signal<WMenuItem *>& Wt::WMenuItem::triggered ( )

Signal emitted when an item is activated.

Returns this item as argument.
