Detailed Description

A class to create and modify menus that appear on macOS in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

On other than macOS platforms, Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar is a synonym of class Fl_Menu_Bar.

On the macOS platform, replace Fl_Menu_Bar with Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar, and a system menu at the top of the screen will be available. This menu will match an array of Fl_Menu_Item's exactly as in all other FLTK menus (except for the submenu with the application's own name and the 'Window' menu; see below). There is, though, an important difference between an Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar object under macOS and under other platforms: only a single object from this class can be created, because macOS uses a single system menu bar. Therefore, porting to macOS an app that creates, on other platforms, several Fl_Menu_Bar objects, one for each of several windows, is more complex that just replacing Fl_Menu_Bar by Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar.

On the macOS platform, the system menu bar of any FLTK app begins with the Application menu which the FLTK library automatically constructs. Functions Fl_Mac_App_Menu::custom_application_menu_items() and Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::about() can be used to further customize the Application menu. The FLTK library also automatically constructs and handles a Window menu which can be further customized (or even removed) calling Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::window_menu_style(window_menu_style_enum style). Other member functions of this class allow the app to generate the rest of the system menu bar. It is recommended to localize the system menu bar using the standard Mac OS X localization procedure (see Internationalization).

Changes to the menu state are immediately visible in the menubar when they are made using member functions of the Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar class. Other changes (e.g., by a call to Fl_Menu_Item::set()) should be followed by a call to update() to be visible in the menubar across all platforms. macOS global variable fl_sys_menu_bar points to the unique, current system menu bar.

A few FLTK menu features are not supported by the Mac System menu:

no symbolic labels
no embossed labels
no font sizes

As described above, the submenu with the application's own name (usually the second submenu from the left, immediately following the "Apple" submenu) is a special case, and can be managed with Fl_Mac_App_Menu::custom_application_menu_items(). For example, to make your own "Appname -> Preferences" dialog, you might use:

#include <FL/platform.H>        // for Fl_Mac_App_Menu class
#include <FL/Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar.H> // for Fl_Menu_Item
:
void prefs_cb(Fl_Widget *w, void *data) {
  // ..Open your preferences dialog here..
}
:
int main(..) {
   :
   // Items to add to the application menu
   static Fl_Menu_Item appitems[] = {
      { "Preferences", 0, prefs_cb, 0, 0 },
      { 0 }, { 0 }
    };
    Fl_Mac_App_Menu::custom_application_menu_items(appitems);  // adds it
 }

Member Function Documentation

◆ about()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::about	(	Fl_Callback *	cb,
		void *	data
	)

static

Attaches a callback to the "About myprog" item of the system application menu.

This cross-platform function is effective only under the MacOS platform.

Parameters

cb	a callback that will be called by "About myprog" menu item with NULL 1st argument.
data	a pointer transmitted as 2nd argument to the callback.

◆ add() [1/3]

int Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::add	(	const char *	label,
		const char *	shortcut,
		Fl_Callback *	cb,
		void *	user_data = `0`,
		int	flags = `0`
	)

inline

Adds a new menu item.

See also: Fl_Menu_::add(const char* label, int shortcut, Fl_Callback*, void *user_data=0, int flags=0)

◆ add() [2/3]

int Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::add	(	const char *	label,
		int	shortcut,
		Fl_Callback *	cb,
		void *	user_data = `0`,
		int	flags = `0`
	)

Add a new menu item to the system menu bar.

Add to the system menu bar a new menu item, with a title string, shortcut int, callback, argument to the callback, and flags.

Parameters

label	- new menu item's label
shortcut	- new menu item's integer shortcut (can be 0 for none, or e.g. FL_ALT+'x')
cb	- callback to be invoked when item selected (can be 0 for none, in which case the menubar's callback() can be used instead)
user_data	- argument to the callback
flags	- item's flags, e.g. FL_MENU_TOGGLE, etc.

Returns: the index into the menu() array, where the entry was added

See also: Fl_Menu_::add(const char* label, int shortcut, Fl_Callback *cb, void *user_data, int flags)

◆ add() [3/3]

int Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::add ( const char * str )

Forms-compatible procedure to add items to the system menu bar.

Returns: the index into the menu() array, where the entry was added

See also: Fl_Menu_::add(const char* str)

◆ clear()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::clear ( void )

Set the Fl_Menu_Item array pointer to null, indicating a zero-length menu.

See also: Fl_Menu_::clear()

◆ clear_submenu()

int Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::clear_submenu ( int index )

Clears the specified submenu pointed to by index of all menu items.

See also: Fl_Menu_::clear_submenu(int index)

◆ create_window_menu()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::create_window_menu ( )

static

Adds a Window menu, to the end of the system menu bar.

FLTK apps typically don't need to call this function which is automatically called by the library the first time a window is shown. The default system menu bar contains a Window menu with a "Merge All Windows" item. Other Window menu styles can be obtained calling Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::window_menu_style(window_menu_style_enum) before the first Fl_Window::show(). Alternatively, an app can call create_window_menu() after having populated the system menu bar, for example with menu(const Fl_Menu_Item *), and before the first Fl_Window::show().

This function does nothing on non MacOS platforms.

Version: 1.4

◆ draw()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::draw ( )

protectedvirtual

Draws the widget.

Never call this function directly. FLTK will schedule redrawing whenever needed. If your widget must be redrawn as soon as possible, call redraw() instead.

Override this function to draw your own widgets.

If you ever need to call another widget's draw method from within your own draw() method, e.g. for an embedded scrollbar, you can do it (because draw() is virtual) like this:

Fl_Widget *s = &scrollbar; // scrollbar is an embedded Fl_Scrollbar

s->draw(); // calls Fl_Scrollbar::draw()

Reimplemented from Fl_Menu_Bar.

◆ insert() [1/2]

int Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::insert	(	int	index,
		const char *	label,
		const char *	shortcut,
		Fl_Callback *	cb,
		void *	user_data = `0`,
		int	flags = `0`
	)

inline

Insert a new menu item.

See also: Fl_Menu_::insert(int index, const char* label, const char* shortcut, Fl_Callback *cb, void *user_data=0, int flags=0)

◆ insert() [2/2]

int Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::insert	(	int	index,
		const char *	label,
		int	shortcut,
		Fl_Callback *	cb,
		void *	user_data = `0`,
		int	flags = `0`
	)

insert in the system menu bar a new menu item

Insert in the system menu bar a new menu item, with a title string, shortcut int, callback, argument to the callback, and flags.

Returns: the index into the menu() array, where the entry was inserted

See also: Fl_Menu_::insert(int index, const char* label, int shortcut, Fl_Callback *cb, void *user_data, int flags)

◆ menu()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::menu ( const Fl_Menu_Item * m )

create a system menu bar using the given list of menu structs

Author: Matthias Melcher

Parameters

m	Zero-ending list of Fl_Menu_Item's

◆ mode()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::mode	(	int	i,
		int	fl
	)

Sets the flags of item i.

See also: Fl_Menu_::mode(int i, int fl)

◆ play_menu()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::play_menu ( const Fl_Menu_Item * item )

virtual

Opens the 1st level submenu of the menubar corresponding to item.

Since: 1.4.0

Reimplemented from Fl_Menu_Bar.

◆ remove()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::remove ( int index )

remove an item from the system menu bar

Parameters

index the index of the item to remove

◆ replace()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::replace	(	int	index,
		const char *	name
	)

rename an item from the system menu bar

Parameters

index	the index of the item to rename
name	the new item name as a UTF8 string

◆ update()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::update ( )

virtual

Updates the menu bar after any change to its items.

This is useful when the menu bar can be an Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar object.

Reimplemented from Fl_Menu_Bar.

◆ window_menu_style()

void Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::window_menu_style ( Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar::window_menu_style_enum style )

static

Set the desired style of the Window menu in the system menu bar.

This function, to be called before the first call to Fl_Window::show(), allows to control whether the system menu bar should contain a Window menu, and if yes, whether new windows should be displayed in tabbed form. These are the effects of various values for style :

no_window_menu : don't add a Window menu to the system menu bar
tabbing_mode_none : add a simple Window menu to the system menu bar
tabbing_mode_automatic : the window menu also contains "Merge All Windows" to group all windows in a single tabbed display mode. This is the default Window menu style for FLTK apps.
tabbing_mode_preferred : new windows are displayed in tabbed mode when first created

The Window menu, if present, is entirely created and controlled by the FLTK library. Mac OS version 10.12 or later must be running for windows to be displayed in tabbed form. Under non MacOS platforms, this function does nothing.
