Each entry in the menu data source (each XML element or JSON
object) can specify an item type and type-specific information about
the menu item it represents. Adobe AIR supports the following menu
item types, which can be set as the values of the
type
attribute
or property in the data source:
|
Menu item type
|
Description
|
|
normal
|
The default type. Selecting an item with
the normal type triggers a
select
event and calls
the function specified in the
onSelect
field of
the data source. Alternatively, if the item has children, the menu
item dispatches a
preparing
event, then a
displaying
event
and then opens the submenu.
|
|
check
|
Selecting an item with the
check
type
toggles the NativeMenuItem’s
checked
property between
true
and
false
values,
triggers a
select
event, and calls the function
specified in the
onSelect
field of the data source.
When the menu item is in the
true
state, it displays
a check mark in the menu next to the item’s label.
|
|
separator
|
Items with the
separator
type
provide a simple horizontal line that divides the items in the menu
into different visual groups.
|
A normal menu item is treated as a submenu if it has children.
With an XML data source, this means that the menu item element contains
other XML elements. For a JSON data source, give the object representing
the menu item a property named
items
containing
an array of other objects.
