[e-users] e16 menus

2009-04-02 Thread Dennis Nezic
With a long menu (and a long submenu), the bottom portion of the
submenu is not always visible on the screen. For example, if the
submenu is located near the bottom of the menu, opening it will cause
the menu to slide to the top of the screen (if the always pop up menus
on screen option is set), and the submenu will open with it's top
aligned directly beside it's entry in the first menu -- which is near
the middle of the screen. In other words, the submenu only has about
half the screen's height to work with.

I guess the easiest solution would be to fix the submenu's height to
the actual visible height that remains available to it. Another
solution would be to allow the menu to slide above the top of the
screen, to allow the submenu to fill the entire height.

Also, on a related note, a submenu within a submenu is able to slide
the original menu above the top of the screen, but when one closes the
submenus, the menu doesn't automatically slide back down and become
visible until a submenu is opened -- ie. the redisplay of the menu
should be triggered after submenus are closed (or, if there's a
dirty-flag, if the menu has been moved, and a submenu closed.)

On a less related note, while we're fixing up the menus :P, what are
your thoughts on word-navigation within menus? Ie. currently the menus
can only be navigated by the up/down arrow keys -- but wouldn't it be
nice if we could type substrings which automatically highlight all the
matching menu labels (maybe within submenus too?), and if there are
multiple matches, pressing tab could alternate between them?

further in the process, but get the following error:

this function)

Yeah, handling of large menus does leave somewhat to be desired.
I have put it on my list of things that I might get around to do something 
about.

Hmm.. I think I'll leave that as an excersize for someone who wants to 
implement it :)
