Q:
We are unable to get sub-menus
to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".
How can we in combination with the java menu api function
dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This
function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually
showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value
with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.
Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but
also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are
viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that
page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed,
the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.
Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the
pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.
If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this,
could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another
engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then
force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus
showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.
A:
Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is not
possible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group and
highlighted submenu item.
You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.
