GUI Elements - Setting a submenu

[saigumi]

How do you set a submenu to a menu item.

I set the hasSubMenu flag to true, but MenuItem returns an index to the item, not a pointer to the element.

So, how do I attach a IGUIContextMenu to the MenuItem?

Just do a IGUIContextMenu::getSubMenu() with the index you received.

[saigumi]

Oh.. that returns the pointer, then you would call addItem or addSeperator to that pointer, instead of making your own ContextMenu pointer and assigning it to the menu item.

Makes sense

How exactly is this supposed to work? Im using this code:

Code: Select all

	
mainmenu = world->guienv->addMenu();
s32 m1 = mainmenu->addItem(L"New");
s32 m2 = mainmenu->addItem(L"Load");

if (!mainmenu->getSubMenu(m1))
{
	printf("Failed to load submenu\n");
	return;
}

IGUIContextMenu *tmp = mainmenu->getSubMenu(m1);
tmp->addItem(L"omgz0r");

getSubMenu is always returning 0

Nevermind, I found that I needed to set the hasSubMenu flag

Another question though - how do you add menu items using a char array for the text? I tried addItem((wchar_t*)text) but it always comes out blank

You could try and use

Code: Select all

core::stringw text = yourCharText;
addItem(text.c_str());
