Dropdown menu code?

[eath]

Has anyone written a collapsible dropdown menu system you wouldn't mind sharing? For example: Edit > Text > Font > Size > 12

I've only found two snippets of possible dropdown code and they're not working correctly (even after messing with them).

From all the threads I've read in my search, it seems like this would be useful to a lot of people!

You can make a simple dropdown menu like this.

Code: Select all

default closed=True

screen drop():
    vbox:
        frame:
            if closed:
                textbutton "Menu" action SetVariable("closed", False)
            elif closed==False:
                textbutton "Menu" action SetVariable("closed", True)
        if closed==False:
            frame:
                vbox:
                    text "text1"
                    text "text2"
                    text "text3"
                    text "text4"
                    text "text5"

                    text "text2"
                    text "text3"
                    text "text4"
                    text "text5"

Thank you Per K Grok! I'm going to see if I can dynamically populate the buttons using an ordereddict and post it here.

One question: if there's another menu a few pixels south of this, is there a way to "push" it down further temporarily while this menu is open?

If you add a frame below the dropdown frame like this. The lower frame will move along with the dropdown frame.

Code: Select all

screen drop():
    vbox:
        frame:
            if closed:
                textbutton "Menu" action SetVariable("closed", False)
            elif closed==False:
                textbutton "Menu" action SetVariable("closed", True)
        if closed==False:
            frame:
                vbox:
                    text "text1"
                    text "text2"
                    text "text3"
                    text "text4"
                    text "text5"
        frame:
            vbox:
                text "textA"
                text "textS"
                text "textD"
                text "textF"
                text "textG"
