fxruby users - Aug 2005 - Popup menu attached to a FXTreeItem

Hi,

I''m using FXRuby 1.0 on Windows.
I''d like to display a popup menu after a right click on a tree
item, I cannot make it work :
#--------------------
root = FXTreeList.new(parent, 1, self, 0) 

pop = FXMenuPane.new(parent)
      
expandCmd = FXMenuCommand.new(pop, "Expand", nil, app)
expandCmd.connect(SEL_COMMAND)
  { root.currentItem.expanded=(true) }
     
root.connect(SEL_RIGHTBUTTONRELEASE) do |sender, selector, data|
  pop.popup(root, data.rootclick_x, data.rootclick_y)
end
#---------------------

The same kind of code works with a FXTabItem instead of
FXTreeItem.
Would FXRuby 1.2 change something ?

Thanks

Thomas

This is the typical pattern I''d use for a right-click popup menu on a 
tree item (or whatever);

	treelist.connect(SEL_RIGHTBUTTONRELEASE) do |sender, sel, evt|
		# Construct the menu pane
		popupMenu = FXMenuPane.new(parent)

		# Add some menu items...
		FXMenuCommand.new(popupMenu, "One")
		FXMenuCommand.new(popupMenu, "Two")

		# Create it
		popupMenu.create

		# Show it
		popupMenu.popup(nil, evt.root_x, evt.root_y)

		# Restrict to this window while shown...
		app.runModalWhileShown(popupMenu)
	end

I just confirmed that this works in FXRuby 1.2, but I don''t know why it
wouldn''t also work in FXRuby 1.0.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Hi Lyle

Thanks a lot, your example helped me to solve my problem.
I''m a little confused with the create function
:
> 		# Create it
> 		popupMenu.create
I have a menu bar in my application, I don''t have to call
create to display a menu pane from it.
Maybe because the menu bar is part of the main window, and
menus are created before calling FXMainWindow.show or
FXApp.create ?

I think I have the same kind of problem to add a new tab item
to a tabbook.
If you have time, could you complete the tabbook example
(http://www.fxruby.org/examples/tabbook.rb) by adding an
Add/Remove tab menu option ?

Thanks

Yes, exactly. There''s a question in the FOX FAQ list (at
http://www.fox-toolkit.com/faq.html) about the whole issue of when it''s
necessary to call create() on a newly constructed window, or icon, or whatever.

Could be.

I''ve added this to the list of FXRuby feature requests:

    http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?group_id=300&atid=1226

Hope this helps,
