| Added several new features to the editor and started working on a native popup system to use inside it.
The popupmenu is currently working and its color can be adjusted. The draw... functions can be used to change the apearance of the popupmenu's.
There are currently 30 functions to control the popups and its contents with.
Initiating a popup is very easy. Include the code after you remove the demonstration part and your set.
Example :
[code]
; Setup popup and sublevels
; menu, location, Text ,returnvalue
insertpopupitem(0,0,"Load",1)
insertpopupitem(0,1,"Save",2)
; Add a line
; menu 0, location 2, return value(temp)
insertpopupline(0,2,3) ; Insert line
insertpopupitem(0,3,"Cut",4)
insertpopupitem(0,4,"Copy",5)
insertpopupitem(0,5,"Paste",6)
insertpopupitem(0,6,"Sub",7)
insertpopupitem(1,0,"Yeah",8)
insertpopupitem(1,1,"this",9)
insertpopupitem(1,2,"is a",10)
insertpopupitem(1,3,"submenu",11)
; Submenu
; menu 0, item 4 links to menu 1
linkitemtosubmenu(0,4,1)
insertpopupitem(2,0,"Yeah",12)
insertpopupitem(2,1,"this",13)
insertpopupitem(2,2,"is a",14)
insertpopupitem(2,3,"submenu",15)
linkitemtosubmenu(0,6,2) ; menu 0 item 6 gets linked to open menu 2
[/code]
The code below inside a b+ loop handles the popup and all its submenu's. Currently 1 level deep (code is structured to handle unlimited submenu's)
[code]
Case $202 ;- Mouse up
If EventData() = 2 Then
q = popupwindow(num,MouseX(),MouseY(),win)
If q>0 Then RuntimeError q
End If
[/code]
