Constructor Detail

Menu

public Menu()

Creates the menu component and associates it with an action button. The link between the Menu and the action button is established by the id of the button and must be provided using setActionId(String).

When the menu is attached to the DOM, it will look for the action button using its id and will decorate it with the appropriate event handlers.

Button

Method Detail

setActionId

public final void setActionId(String forId)
                       throws IllegalStateException

Set the id of the related action Button enabling mdl to bind the Menu to it. This method can only be invoked when the menu is not already attached to the DOM. If the menu is attached and therefore upgraded, the action button cannot be changed.

Parameters:

forId - The id of the action Button.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - mdl does not allow re binding the menu when the menu is not yet upgraded. If the menu is already upgraded an exception is raised.

setAnchor

public final void setAnchor(MenuAnchor inputAnchor)

Description copied from interface: IMenu

Sets the position of the Menu on the screen related to its associated action button using one of the available anchoring options provided by MenuAnchor.

An extra care should be taken when anchoring the menu. According to this thread , the menu's parent need a position:relative in order for the menu to be anchored correctly.

Specified by:

setAnchor in interface IMenu

Parameters:

inputAnchor - the requested Anchor position for the Menu .

onLoad

public final void onLoad()

Apply magic to bring the menu to life.

After being attached to the DOM, the Menu is upgraded using ComponentHandler.upgradeElement(com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element) which in turn uses MaterialMenu to change the DOM tree of the component and add the required event handlers.

The upgrade process performed by MaterialMenu requires the Menu to be already attached to the DOM. This is due to the fact that MaterialMenu references the Menu's parent element during the upgrade.

When performing the upgrade, MaterialMenu will look for the associated button in the page DOM to attach the required events to it. That's why it is also mandatory that the related action button is attached to the DOM before Menu is.

Overrides:

onLoad in class com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Widget
