NativeMenu #

is_instantiable, core, not_builtin_classes, singleton

A server interface for OS native menus.

NativeMenu handles low-level access to the OS native global menu bar and popup menus.

Note: This is low-level API, consider using MenuBar with MenuBar.prefer_global_menu set to true, and PopupMenu with PopupMenu.prefer_native_menu set to true.

To create a menu, use create_menu, add menu items using add_*_item methods. To remove a menu, use free_menu.

var menu

func _menu_callback(item_id):
    if item_id == "ITEM_CUT":
        cut()
    elif item_id == "ITEM_COPY":
        copy()
    elif item_id == "ITEM_PASTE":
        paste()

func _enter_tree():
    # Create new menu and add items:
    menu = NativeMenu.create_menu()
    NativeMenu.add_item(menu, "Cut", _menu_callback, Callable(), "ITEM_CUT")
    NativeMenu.add_item(menu, "Copy", _menu_callback, Callable(), "ITEM_COPY")
    NativeMenu.add_separator(menu)
    NativeMenu.add_item(menu, "Paste", _menu_callback, Callable(), "ITEM_PASTE")

func _on_button_pressed():
    # Show popup menu at mouse position:
    NativeMenu.popup(menu, DisplayServer.mouse_get_position())

func _exit_tree():
    # Remove menu when it's no longer needed:
    NativeMenu.free_menu(menu)

Methods #

func add_check_item(index: int = -1) -> int#

Adds a new checkable item with text label to the global menu rid.

Returns index of the inserted item, it's not guaranteed to be the same as index value.

An accelerator can optionally be defined, which is a keyboard shortcut that can be pressed to trigger the menu button even if it's not currently open. The accelerator is generally a combination of KeyModifierMasks and Keys using bitwise OR such as KEY_MASK_CTRL | KEY_A (Ctrl + A).

Note: The callback and key_callback Callables need to accept exactly one Variant parameter, the parameter passed to the Callables will be the value passed to tag.

Note: This method is implemented on macOS and Windows.

Note: On Windows, accelerator and key_callback are ignored.

func add_icon_check_item(index: int = -1) -> int#

Adds a new checkable item with text label and icon icon to the global menu rid.

Returns index of the inserted item, it's not guaranteed to be the same as index value.

An accelerator can optionally be defined, which is a keyboard shortcut that can be pressed to trigger the menu button even if it's not currently open. The accelerator is generally a combination of KeyModifierMasks and Keys using bitwise OR such as KEY_MASK_CTRL | KEY_A (Ctrl + A).

Note: The callback and key_callback Callables need to accept exactly one Variant parameter, the parameter passed to the Callables will be the value passed to tag.

Note: This method is implemented on macOS and Windows.

Note: On Windows, accelerator and key_callback are ignored.

func add_icon_item(index: int = -1) -> int#

Adds a new item with text label and icon icon to the global menu rid.

Returns index of the inserted item, it's not guaranteed to be the same as index value.

An accelerator can optionally be defined, which is a keyboard shortcut that can be pressed to trigger the menu button even if it's not currently open. The accelerator is generally a combination of KeyModifierMasks and Keys using bitwise OR such as KEY_MASK_CTRL | KEY_A (Ctrl + A).

Note: The callback and key_callback Callables need to accept exactly one Variant parameter, the parameter passed to the Callables will be the value passed to tag.

Note: This method is implemented on macOS and Windows.

Note: On Windows, accelerator and key_callback are ignored.

Note: This method is implemented on macOS and Windows.

Note: On Windows, accelerator and key_callback are ignored.

func add_multistate_item(index: int = -1) -> int#

Adds a new item with text label to the global menu rid.

Contrarily to normal binary items, multistate items can have more than two states, as defined by max_states. Each press or activate of the item will increase the state by one. The default value is defined by default_state.

Returns index of the inserted item, it's not guaranteed to be the same as index value.

An accelerator can optionally be defined, which is a keyboard shortcut that can be pressed to trigger the menu button even if it's not currently open. The accelerator is generally a combination of KeyModifierMasks and Keys using bitwise OR such as KEY_MASK_CTRL | KEY_A (Ctrl + A).

Note: By default, there's no indication of the current item state, it should be changed manually.

Note: The callback and key_callback Callables need to accept exactly one Variant parameter, the parameter passed to the Callables will be the value passed to tag.

Note: This method is implemented on macOS and Windows.

Note: On Windows, accelerator and key_callback are ignored.
