LibDropDownMenu

Description

This is a converted version of Blizzards UIDropDownMenu from WoW Retail into a library accessable by LibStub.

Since Blizzards new xml error handling it is a problem to use xml templates in libraries. I've converted the templates into lua functions.

 

My two goals:

1. Keep sync to Blizzards retail client version.

2. It should be compatible to classic clients.

 

The XML templates are converted into lua functions

• UIDropDownMenuButtonTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenuButton(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>
• UIDropDownListTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenuList(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>
• UIDropDownMenuTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenu(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>

Currently the optsTable can contain only one usable entry. { id=<number> }

 

Example

  local lib = LibStub("LibDropDownMenu");
  local menuFrame = lib.Create_DropDownMenu("MyAddOn_DropDownMenu",UIParent);
  -- instead of template UIDropDownMenuTemplate
  local menuList = {
      { text="TestTitle", isTitle=true },
      { text="TestFunction", isNotRadio=true, notCheckable=false }
  };
  lib.EasyMenu(menuList,menuFrame,"cursor",0,0,"MENU");
