Menu Implementation

[khaf]

Since menu is not implemented, how would you prefer to implement it?

Should it be implemented from the scratch, or can it be implemented via the primitives that already exist (like modal windows + frames + labels)?

I can think of two ways:

1. I thought of adding a new attribute for controls: "floating" - this control is always skipped when calculating Window size and other controls postions and it always has absolute screen coordinates. Honestly, up to version 0.3 I had this kind of controls and there was a simple ComboBox implementation using it. But then I redesigned the library and removed this case - it made some things more complicated. Though this way needs another fix: allow a control to draw itself outside parent Window.
2. Separate modal Window. It can be implemented as a Window with ListBox I think - in this case you get for free OnSelect by mouse and arrow keys processing. Another thing that maybe good to have: dismiss menu-window on mouse-click outside it. It may need some library changes.

I'll do a first try with the already available primitives. We'll solve problems as we go.

Hi! Any news on this?

Hi @jlopezr ,

I am sorry saying this, but nothing has changed. For months I have little free time, and there are no PRs as well.

Sorry I got busy and never followed up. Will update if I get to work on it later.
