CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a context menu which appears when you right-click on the screen and am having an issue when I try to re-open it after it's been used. Specifically, my context menu has (currently) 3 layers of menus (Top, Sub, then Options) as specified below.

The menu disappears correctly when I choose one of the options, but when I open it again by right-clicking, the context menu appears with all sub-menus already open. It's like it's not resetting properly.

Is this due perhaps to how I'm re-opening it? (I set it to visible and enable it) Looking at the recursive call for MenuItem::closeAllMenuItemPopups(), I see that it finds the parent and then calls hide on it, which I assume doesn't really close the submenus. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for in order to determine why the submenus don't collapse?

Thank you for the help.

@TheWanderer: I'll do my best to help u. Note, however, that there's been a flood of issues from users recently, and part of the cegui team is on vacation, so it may take time. Sorry.

That's quite al'right, YaronCT. I appreciate you taking the time to look into it. If there's any information I can give or any avenue I can pursue to help diagnose the issue, just let me know.

Or I can just spend a bit more time and figure it out...

The magic line is:

Tracing the code, I found that MenuBase::d_autoCloseNestedPopups, the variable controlling the collapse behaviour, defaults to false. I'm not entirely sure why it was collapsing properly when I was using only two layers of menus given I wasn't using the above property.

In any case, I'm glad I found it. One more item off your plate, YaronCT
