Contextual Menu in Glyph View

[RafaŁ Buchner]

Is there any way to build my own contextual menu in the Glyph View?

I'm looking for similar solution as the one given in the example:

Thanks in advance for your help.

A tool can have his own contextual menu item:

from mojo.events import EditingTool, installTool


class MyTool(EditingTool):
    
    def additionContextualMenuItems(self):
        return [
            ("Hello", self.sayHello), 
            ("World", self.sayWorld),
            ("submenu", [("an item", self.sayAnItem)])
        ]
    
    def sayHello(self, sender):
        print("Hello")
    
    def sayWorld(self, sender):
        print("World")
    
    def sayAnItem(self, sender):
        print("an item")

    
installTool(MyTool())

It not possible to directly inject menu item into the each menu for each tool. I will think about this and take it with me of the upcoming release.

mmm, RF could use the changes I’ve committed to vanilla.

see https://github.com/typesupply/vanilla/blob/master/Lib/vanilla/vanillaList.py#L196

for vanilla you can also provide the state, image and if the menu item is enabled.

Hey @frederik, Is it possible to add additional-contextual-menu-item that will look/work like a checkbox to the BaseEventTool? (like the "lock image" checkbox in the example-screenshot that you shared?)

(I know I can easily go around it and do it without a check sign. But I consider the check sign more practical)

Thanks for the response. I will wait for new solutions then :)
