Accessors

aboutToClose

  • get aboutToClose(): ISignal<this, void>

  • A signal emitted just before the menu is closed.

    Notes

    This signal is emitted when the menu receives a 'close-request' message, just before it removes itself from the DOM.

    This signal is not emitted if the menu is already detached from the DOM when it receives the 'close-request' message.

    Returns ISignal<this, void>

activeIndex

  • get activeIndex(): number
  • set activeIndex(value: number): void

  • Get the index of the currently active menu item.

    Notes

    This will be -1 if no menu item is active.

    Returns number

  • Set the index of the currently active menu item.

    Notes

    If the item cannot be activated, the index will be set to -1.

    Parameters

    • value: number

    Returns void

activeItem

  • get activeItem(): IItem | null
  • set activeItem(value: IItem | null): void

  • Get the currently active menu item.

    Notes

    If the item cannot be activated, the item will be set to null.

    Returns IItem | null

    Notes

    If the item cannot be activated, the item will be set to null.

    Parameters

    Returns void

childMenu

  • get childMenu(): Menu | null

  • The child menu of the menu.

    Notes

    This is null unless the menu has an open submenu.

    Returns Menu | null

contentNode

  • get contentNode(): HTMLUListElement

  • The menu content node.

    Notes

    This is the node which holds the menu item nodes.

    Modifying this node directly can lead to undefined behavior.

    Returns HTMLUListElement

dataset

  • get dataset(): DOMStringMap

disposed

  • get disposed(): ISignal<this, void>

  • A signal emitted when the widget is disposed.

    Returns ISignal<this, void>

  • Get the id of the widget's DOM node.

    Returns string

  • Set the id of the widget's DOM node.

    Parameters

    • value: string

    Returns void

isAttached

  • get isAttached(): boolean

isDisposed

  • get isDisposed(): boolean

isHidden

  • get isHidden(): boolean

isVisible

  • get isVisible(): boolean

  • Test whether the widget is visible.

    Notes

    A widget is visible when it is attached to the DOM, is not explicitly hidden, and has no explicitly hidden ancestors.

    Returns boolean

items

  • get items(): ReadonlyArray<IItem>

  • A read-only array of the menu items in the menu.

    Returns ReadonlyArray<IItem>

layout

  • get layout(): Layout | null
  • set layout(value: Layout | null): void

  • Get the layout for the widget.

    Notes

    The layout is single-use only. It cannot be changed after the first assignment.

    The layout is disposed automatically when the widget is disposed.

    Returns Layout | null

  • Set the layout for the widget.

    Notes

    The layout is single-use only. It cannot be changed after the first assignment.

    The layout is disposed automatically when the widget is disposed.

    Parameters

    Returns void

leafMenu

  • get leafMenu(): Menu

menuRequested

  • get menuRequested(): ISignal<this, "next" | "previous">

  • A signal emitted when a new menu is requested by the user.

    Notes

    This signal is emitted whenever the user presses the right or left arrow keys, and a submenu cannot be opened or closed in response.

    This signal is useful when implementing menu bars in order to open the next or previous menu in response to a user key press.

    This signal is only emitted for the root menu in a hierarchy.

    Returns ISignal<this, "next" | "previous">

parent

  • get parent(): Widget | null
  • set parent(value: Widget | null): void

  • Get the parent of the widget.

    Notes

    Children are typically added to a widget by using a layout, which means user code will not normally set the parent widget directly.

    The widget will be automatically removed from its old parent.

    This is a no-op if there is no effective parent change.

    Returns Widget | null

  • Set the parent of the widget.

    Notes

    Children are typically added to a widget by using a layout, which means user code will not normally set the parent widget directly.

    Notes

    This is null unless the menu is an open submenu.

    Returns Menu | null

rootMenu

  • get rootMenu(): Menu

title

  • The title object for the widget.

    Notes

    The title object is used by some container widgets when displaying the widget alongside some title, such as a tab panel or side bar.

    Since not all widgets will use the title, it is created on demand.

    The owner property of the title is set to this widget.

    Returns Title<Widget>
