Script Panel Properties Related with Popup Menu

[Evan C.]

My HISE version is 0.99 and build version of it is 647.

I think you can easily add the feature of separator, something like using "-" as the separator string in the string list.

[Christoph Hart]

Are you using the most recent version on GitHub? I just added this feature a few days ago.

And I'll add separators and deactivated items.
I propose using ___ (three underscores) as separator string and ~~deactivated Item~~ for deactivated items (that's strikethrough in Markdown).

I don't know if you need it but you can already make nested popup menus with the syntax SubMenu::Item

[Christoph Hart]

Didn't read your last post. Let me know if you need a current build (also which OS you are working on).

[Evan C.]

Yes, I knew how to add SubMenu as well. I found such codes in GitHub sources. And I am just using most recent version on GitHub and also HISE standalone as well.
I prefer to know how to build HISE standalone with sources of GitHub repository.
Otherwise, I will be appreciate if you provide me recent Win8.1 x64 and macOS Sierra builds.
Thanks a lot.

There are build instructions in the GitHub Readme

Alright, I pushed these changes to GitHub. You can now do this:

const var Panel = Content.addPanel("Panel", 55, 0);
// [JSON Panel]
Content.setPropertiesFromJSON("Panel", {
  "width": 153,
  "height": 30,
  "allowCallbacks": "Context Menu",
  "popupMenuItems": "**This is a header**\n___\nA\nB\n~~Not active~~\nC",
  "popupOnRightClick": 0,
  "popupMenuAlign": 1
});
// [/JSON Panel]

I also added the section headers - just use the Markdown Syntax for **bold**. Be aware that Section Headers and Separators don't have an index (deactivated items still do).

[Christoph Hart]

This is a small helper function that deactivates items in a ScriptPanel:

/** Deactivates an item in a custom popup. */
inline function deactivatePopupItem(widget, index, isDeactivated)
{
	local list = widget.get("popupMenuItems").split("\n");
	if(isDeactivated)
	{
		if(list[index].indexOf("~~") != -1)
			return;
			
		list[index] = "~~" + list[index] + "~~";
	}
	else
	{
		list[index] = list[index].replace("~~", "");
	}
	
	widget.set("popupMenuItems", list.join("\n"));
}

deactivatePopupItem(Panel, 1, true);

Those are really nice and easy to implement. Now I made a nice popup menu by using above stuffs.
Many appreciate, Christoph!

I also added the section headers - just use the Markdown Syntax for **bold**. Be aware that Section Headers and Separators don't have an index (deactivated items still do).

I have added Section Header with bold but it is having an index. Would you check and fix it?

[Christoph Hart]

Yeah I'll take a look.
