Is it possible to create/modify menu items within Xwidget javascript?
If so, please give some pointers, I am trying to replicate the following code:

for example:
mainWindow.onContextMenu = function() {
var items = [];
items[1] = new MenuItem();
items[1].title = "Online Help";
items[1].onSelect = function() {
widgethelp();
};
items[2] = new MenuItem();
items[2].title = "blah blah blah";
items[2].onSelect = function() {
donate();
};
items[3] = new MenuItem();
items[3].title = "blah blah blah";
items[3].onSelect = function() {
amazon();
};
items[4] = new MenuItem();
items[4].title = "blah blah blah";
items[4].onSelect = function() {
rocketdock();
};
items[5] = new MenuItem();
items[5].title = "";
items[5].onSelect = function() {
nullfunction();
};
items[6] = new MenuItem();
items[6].title = "See More blah blah blah;
items[6].onSelect = function() {
otherwidgets();
};
items[7] = new MenuItem();
items[7].title = "Download blah blah blah";
items[7].onSelect = function() {
update();
};
items[11] = new MenuItem();
items[11].title = "Contact blah blah blah";
items[11].onSelect = function() {
contact();
};
mainWindow.contextMenuItems = items;

I would also like to be able to modify the menus dynamically.

new tutorial:

Thanks, but I know how to create the menu items using the gui, I just wanted to know If I can create menu items in code using a similar method as shown in the javascript above.

Hello, can anyone give any feedback as to whether this is possible?

BUMP

item = new MenuItem();

I am surprised this sort of thing can't be done, can it? It should be possible within the logic so more dynamic menus can be created on-the-fly.

<menu>
<item name="menuitem7" caption="Contact Support" onClick="menuitem7OnClick"/>
</menu>

i don't think there is a menuitem.create() function available,
but as another way:

1. create some more menuitems in gui,
2. use [OnPopupMenu] Event and add a function to it,
3. write the function to make them [.Visible],
4. you can also change [.Caption], [.Core], [.OnClick], [.Enabled], [.Checked], [.Tag], [.TagString] (this one is not available in gui ) ,... through ScriptCode

Very useful and I will think about it. Changing this post to CLOSED.

Menu items cannot be created in code in Xwidget engine.
