ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO(3) | ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO(3) |
NAME
ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO - Allegro 5 API
SYNOPSIS
-
#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h> typedef struct ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO {
DESCRIPTION
A structure that defines how to create a complete menu system. For standard menu items, the following format is used:
-
{ caption, id, flags, icon }
For special items, these macros are helpful:
-
ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU(caption, id) ALLEGRO_MENU_SEPARATOR ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU
A well-defined menu will begin with ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU, contain one or more menu items, and end with ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU. A menu may contain sub-menus. An example:
-
ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO menu_info[] = { ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU("&File", 1), { "&Open", 2, 0, NULL }, ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU("Open &Recent...", 3), { "Recent 1", 4, 0, NULL }, { "Recent 2", 5, 0, NULL }, ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU, ALLEGRO_MENU_SEPARATOR, { "E&xit", 6, 0, NULL }, ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU, ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU("&Help", 7), {"&About", 8, 0, NULL }, ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU, ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU }; ALLEGRO_MENU *menu = al_build_menu(menu_info);
If you prefer, you can build the menu without the structure by using al_create_menu(3) and al_insert_menu_item(3).
