FlatMenu

(06-Nov-2006)

FlatMenu, like the name implies, it is a generic menu implementation. I tried to provide a full functionality for menus, menubar and toolbar.
FlatMenu supports the following features:

• Fires all the events (UI & Cmd);
• Check items;
• Separators;
• Enabled / Disabled menu items;
• Images on items;
• Toolbar support, with images and separators;
• Controls in toolbar (work in progress);
• Toolbar tools tooltips (done: thanks to Peter Kort);
• Accelerators for menus;
• Accelerators for menubar;
• Radio items in menus;
• Integration with AUI;
• Scrolling when menu is too big to fit the screen (in progress);
• Menu navigation with keyboard;
• Drop down arrow button to the right of the menu, it always contains the "Customize" option, which will popup an options dialog. The dialog has the following abilities:
  
1. Ability to add/remove menus;
2. Select different colour schemes for the menu bar / toolbar;
3. Control various options, such as: colour for highlight menu item, draw border around menus (classic look only);
4. Toolbar floating appearance.

• Allows user to specify grey bitmap for disabled menus/toolbar tools;

• If no grey bitmap is provided, it generates one from the existing bitmap;
• Hidden toolbar items / menu bar items - will appear in a small popmenu to the right if they are hidden;
• 4 different colour schemes for the menu bar (more can easily added);
• Scrolling is available if the menu height is greater than the screen height;
• Context menus for menu items;
• Show/hide the drop down arrow which allows the customization of FlatMenu;
• Multiple columns menu window;
• Tooltips for menus and toolbar items on a wx.StatusBar (if present);
• Transparency (alpha channel) for menu windows (for platforms supporting it);
• First attempt in adding controls to FlatToolbar.
