Class: Menu

Constructor

new Menu()

A basic menu class.

Extends: Blockly.Component

Property

openingCoords

package

Coordinates of the mousedown event that caused this menu to open. Used to prevent the consequent mouseup event due to a simple click from activating a menu item immediately.

Methods

addChild

package

addChild(child, opt_render)

Adds the specified component as the last child of this component. See Blockly.Component#addChildAt for detailed semantics.

Parameter
child	The new child component.
opt_render	Optional If true, the child component will be rendered into the parent.

Parameter

child

The new child component.

opt_render

Optional

If true, the child component will be rendered into the parent.

Inherited from: Blockly.Component#addChild
See also: Blockly.Component#addChildAt

addChildAt

protected

addChildAt(child, index, opt_render)

Adds the specified component as a child of this component at the given 0-based index.

Both addChild and addChildAt assume the following contract between parent and child components:

the child component's element must be a descendant of the parent component's element, and
the DOM state of the child component must be consistent with the DOM state of the parent component (see `isInDocument`) in the steady state -- the exception is to addChildAt(child, i, false) and then immediately decorate/render the child.

In particular, parent.addChild(child) will throw an error if the child component is already in the document, but the parent isn't.

Clients of this API may call addChild and addChildAt with opt_render set to true. If opt_render is true, calling these methods will automatically render the child component's element into the parent component's element. If the parent does not yet have an element, then createDom will automatically be invoked on the parent before rendering the child.

Invoking {@code parent.addChild(child, true)} will throw an error if the child component is already in the document, regardless of the parent's DOM state.

If opt_render is true and the parent component is not already in the document, enterDocument will not be called on this component at this point.

Finally, this method also throws an error if the new child already has a different parent, or the given index is out of bounds.

Parameter
child	The new child component.
index	0-based index at which the new child component is to be added; must be between 0 and the current child count (inclusive).
opt_render	Optional If true, the child component will be rendered into the parent.

Parameter

child

The new child component.

index

0-based index at which the new child component is to be added; must be between 0 and the current child count (inclusive).

opt_render

Optional

If true, the child component will be rendered into the parent.

dispose

package

dispose()

Disposes of the object. If the object hasn't already been disposed of, calls #disposeInternal.

Inherited from: Blockly.Component#dispose

disposeInternal

protected

disposeInternal()

Inherited from: Blockly.Menu#disposeInternal

enterDocument

protected

enterDocument()

Called when the component's element is known to be in the document. Anything using document.getElementById etc. should be done at this stage.

If the component contains child components, this call is propagated to its children.

Inherited from: Blockly.Menu#enterDocument

exitDocument

protected

exitDocument()

Cleans up the container before its DOM is removed from the document, and removes event handlers. Overrides Blockly.Component#exitDocument.

Inherited from: Blockly.Menu#exitDocument

focus

package

focus()

Focus the menu element.

forEachChild

protected

forEachChild(f, opt_obj)

Calls the given function on each of this component's children in order. If opt_obj is provided, it will be used as the 'this' object in the function when called. The function should take two arguments: the child component and its 0-based index. The return value is ignored.

Parameter
f	The function to call for every child component; should take 2 arguments (the child and its index).
opt_obj	Optional Used as the 'this' object in f when called.

Parameter

The function to call for every child component; should take 2 arguments (the child and its index).

Returns: boolean Whether the key event was handled.

handleKeyEventInternal

protected

handleKeyEventInternal(e) returns boolean

protected

hasChildren() returns boolean

Returns true if the component has children.

Inherited from: Blockly.Component#isRightToLeft
Returns: Whether the control is rendered right-to-left.

render

package

render(opt_parentElement)

Renders the component. If a parent element is supplied, the component's element will be appended to it. If there is no optional parent element and the element doesn't have a parentNode then it will be appended to the document body.

If this component has a parent component, and the parent component is not in the document already, then this will not call enterDocument on this component.

Throws an Error if the component is already rendered.

Parameter

This should only be used by subclasses and its associated renderers.

Parameter
element	Root element for the component.

Inherited from: Blockly.Component#setElementInternal

setHighlighted

protected

setHighlighted(item)

Highlights the given item if it exists and is a child of the container; otherwise un-highlights the currently highlighted item.

Parameter
parent	The parent component.

Inherited from: Blockly.Component#setParent

setRightToLeft

package

setRightToLeft(rightToLeft)

Set is right-to-left. This function should be used if the component needs to know the rendering direction during DOM creation (i.e. before #enterDocument is called and is right-to-left is set).
