Hover trees

[Walkerbo]

Hi all

I want to create a hover tree similar to the right-click menu.

I am absolutely sure that hover tree is not an adequate description so I have attached an image to show what I mean.


I want to be able to hover over a title, and display a list of buttons.

It's a menu. 11.0 has a new system

Hi Fizzlemizz

Sorry for my delayed response, I have been trying to get this working as required.

When we hover over the Add Friend button it displays a SubMenu of buttons.

The submenu example in the MenuImplementationGuide does not work correctly for me;

local submenu = rootDescription:CreateButton("My Submenu");
submenu:CreateButton("Enable", SetEnabledFunction, true);
submenu:CreateButton("Disable", SetEnabledFunction, false);

It creates a frame with the button tittle and displayed the buttons without hovering over the title.

What I want is to create either a button that displays a SubMenu on hover, or add extra buttons to the Add Friend submenu, or add a frame of buttons that is anchored to the Add Friend Submenu, (this last option is the one I would prefer).

It's all fairly new so a very basic example of what I think you want to do:

local f = CreateFrame("Button", nil, UIParent, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
f:SetSize(80, 25)
f:SetText("Click")
f:SetPoint("TOP", -150, 0)
f:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
    MenuUtil.CreateContextMenu(self, function(ownerRegion, rootDescription)
        rootDescription:CreateTitle("Test Menu")
        rootDescription:CreateButton("Button 1", function() print("Clicked button 1") end)
        local submenu = rootDescription:CreateButton("Button 2")
        submenu:CreateTitle("Test Sub-Menu")
        submenu:CreateButton("Enable", function(self)
            print("Click Enable")
        end)
            submenu:CreateButton("Disable", function(self)
                print("Click Disable")
            end)
        rootDescription:CreateButton("Button 3", function() print("Clicked button 3") end)
    end)
end)

Creating submenu and adding buttons to it makes it a "flyout" sub-menu.

Hi Fizzlemizz

Thanks for your example, it was exactly what I needed.

local menuButton1 = Menu.ModifyMenu("MENU_UNIT_SELF", function(_, menuButton)
       menuButton:CreateDivider()
       submenu = menuButton:CreateButton("Test")
       submenu:CreateButton("Test Button 1", function(self)
              print("ClickedTest Button 1")
       end)
       submenu:CreateButton("Test Button 2", function(self)
              print("ClickedTest Button 2")
       end)
end)
