Detailed Description

Menu item class.

Library: ilvgadgt

The class IlvMenuItem implements the items appearing in pop-up menus (IlvPopupMenu) or in menu bars (IlvMenuBar, IlvToolBar). A menu item can display a label, a bitmap, a graphic object and can be used as a separator.

See also
IlvAbstractMenu, IlvPopupMenu, IlvAbstractBar, IlvToolBar, IlvMenuBar.

Accessors

Accessors provide a scriptable and uniform way to inspect and modify an object by using its base class methods IlvValueInterface::queryValue(), IlvValueInterface::queryValues(), IlvValueInterface::changeValue(), IlvValueInterface::changeValues(). This class inherits the accessors of its superclass IlvGadgetItem and adds the following ones:

Name Type Equivalent methods
type Int getType()
checkedBitmap Bitmap getBitmap(const IlSymbol*) const, setBitmap()
checked Boolean isChecked(), setChecked()
readOnly Boolean isReadOnly(), setReadOnly()
radio Boolean isRadioToggle(), setRadioToggle()
toggle Boolean isToggle(), setToggle()
tooltip String getToolTip(), setToolTip()
menu Object getMenu(), setMenu()
callbackName String getCallbackName(), setCallbackName()
