Adrian A. commented on CLK-407:
-------------------------------
I also need enable/disable, show/hide methods in most applications for the
menus.
(I think the simplest would be to add the according properties to the xml file
and the Menu class)
In most applications, it's a requirement:
- to be able to hide items not just based on roles but also based on
application logic, and not just at the beginning but at various moments in time.
- to disable (i.e. to show but make non-click-able some items) e.g.
- user needs to upgrade his account to a better scheme or it is in
demo/trial mode.
- another user performs that action at the same time (e.g. backup or some
other batch process), so the menu item needs to be disabled too.
For this to work properly however, I think
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-405 should also work correctly - only
so it makes (if different users can see different menu item states)
Thank you,
A.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-407
> Project: Click
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: extras
> Reporter: Demetrios Kyriakis
>
> Please improve the Menu Control, by allowing the user to show/hide menu
> items, and also to enable/disable them.
> Right now, this is not possible at all with the Menu Control :(.
> This is very limiting, making the existing Menu Control useless for most user
> applications, thus forcing the users
> to make their own menu controls (or the hack the original one).
> There's no need for these properties to be present in menu.xml, since their
> role is mostly at runtime:
> - enable/disable would allow to enable or disable a menu item (so to show it
> but make it unclickable).
> - show/hide would allow to to show and hide menu items (of course if the user
> doesn't have a specific role, the menu will be hidden).
> Regarding the API, it would be important to have practical methods for hiding
> and disabling menu items:
> something like Menu#hide(Menu item) would not be very practical since in most
> cases the "item" reference is not present
> so it should be Menu#hide(String path), and when applied, to seach this in
> the children items too.
> Another improvement would be if the Menu Click control would use Link
> Controls for the items (since that's what they are).
> Thank you,
> Demetrios.
