LibDropDownMenu

Description

This is a converted version of Blizzards UIDropDownMenu (from WoW 7.3.5) 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.

An update to UIDropDownMenu from version WoW 8.0.1 coming soon.

(customFrame support sounds interesting. for slider and input fields… 🙂

Sorry for waiting.
Now it's updated to UIDropDownMenu version from build 29737 with customFrame support.

One little info: Blizzard has removed the first argument from UIDropDownMenu_AddSeparator function. This Lib supports old and new argument order to prevent errors on update.

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");
