dropdown/popup menus

[marksmithhfx]

Hi,

Does anyone know a way to do dropdown or popup menus on iOS that are native looking? I think support for this was added in iOS 14 via UIMenu and ContextMenu...

If no one knows if this is possible I will add a feature request.

Cheers,

Hi Mark,

I'm afraid until LC officially support this, you will need to "fake" it with groups.

Thanks Klaus, interesting, how might one fake this in groups?

Also, posted an enhancement request for this in the QCC https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23689

Hi Mark,

quick idea, create some buttons with an icon and AUTOHILITE = FALSE and this script and group them.

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
   set the hilite of me to TRUE   
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
   set the hilite of me to FALSE
end mouseLeave

on mouseUp 
   ## Do your thing here...
   set the hilite of me to FALSE
end mouseUp

on mouseRelease
   set the hilite of me to FALSE   
end mouseRelease

Will surely need some more finetuning, but you get the picture.

This might be helpful either to use as is or perhaps give some ideas:

I've used a simple list field sometimes if you don't need anything too fancy.

Thanks everyone. After the Dev Con I'll get cracking trying these out.
