  • exec/load/DDLightbarMenu.js

    From nightfox@VERT to CVS commit on Fri Dec 30 15:48:15 2016
    exec/load DDLightbarMenu.js NONE 1.1
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv4454

    Added Files:
    DDLightbarMenu.js
    Log Message:
    This provides a scrollable lightbar menu in the form of a JavaScript class. Item colors (normal and selected) can be customized. Allows scrolling of the menu items, so that if there are more items than can fit on the menu, the user can scroll through them. Supports use of the up & down arrows, PageUp, PageDown, Home, and End keys, and the Enter key selects an item. This requires an ANSI terminal.

    Fixed a bug with using the PageDown key. Also, updated the GetVal() method so that it resets the terminal color back to normal when it's done so that any text printed afterward will look good.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Updated so that when looking for an item's hotkey, it uses the first one it finds (in case multiple items have the same hotkey). Previously it would have used the last. Also, added some more methods: Remove(), RemoveAllItems(), RemoveItemHotkey(), and RemoveAllItemHotkeys().

    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv27400

    Modified Files:
    DDLightbarMenu.js
    Log Message:
    Updated to optinally have the menu draw a border around the menu items. This functionality uses the new borderStyle property, which can be one of the following: BORDER_NONE (no borders), BORDER_SINGLE (single-line border), or BORDER_DOUBLE (double-line border). I might add more border styles in the future (such as single-line vertical with double-line horizontal, etc.). Also, added a way to have a single non-space character in an item text highlighted with a different color (i.e., to show a hotkey in the item text). That is done by putting a & in the item text immediately before the key to highlight (i.e., "E&xit" would highlight the 'x' character). Added the itemTextCharHighlightColor property to specify the color attribute to use to highlight a hotkey character (currently, it defaults to bright yellow). Also, added the property hotkeyCaseSensitive, which is a boolean that specifies whether or not hotkey matching should be case-sensitive. It defaults to false.

    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv32350

    Modified Files:
    DDLightbarMenu.js
    Log Message:
    Changed the way the border characters are configured in a way that is more flexible. Now, you can specify whatever border characters you want to use by changing the properties in the borderChars object within the menu object. Also, when adding a menu item, the pHotkey parameter will always be used as the hotkey if specified, but now if that parameter is not specified, then the first non-space character after a & in the item text will be used as the hotkey (in addition to that character being highlighted in a different color, as with the last commit). Also made some bug fixes regarding scrolling when using a border.

    Added a new property to the menu object, ampersandHotkeysInItems, which specifies whether or not to interpret an ampersand as a hotkey in a menu item if placed immediately before a non-space character. It defaults to true. In some cases it might be desirable to disable that and have all ampersands in the menu items literally displayed.

    Menu items can now have multiple hotkeys. Hotkeys can be specified in the Add() method by passing a hotkey as the 3rd parameter and/or by putting a & in the menu item text just before a key you want to use as the hotkey. Also added the method AddItemHotkey(), which can add a hotkey to a menu item in addition to its existing hotkey(s).

    There is still an issue with the "Choose a topic area" menu. If you hit 'End' as the first key, it shows a new entry at the bottom. See this screen shot as an example: http://vert.synchro.net/2017-08-05.png

    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv1946

    Modified Files:
    DDLightbarMenu.js
    Log Message:
    Added an optional "numbered mode", where each option is displayed with a number to the left (starting at 1), and the user is allowed to choose an option by typing the number of the item. Numbered mode is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the numberedMode property to true. For example:
    lbMenu.numberedMode = true;
    When numbered mode is enabled and the user starts typing a number, the menu will prompt the user for an item number. The prompt will be located on the line below the menu, so in addition to the menu's height, you'll also need an extra line on the screen to account for the item prompt. In addition, when the user presses the enter key after the item number, a carriage return/line feed will be outputted, so in numbered mode, the menu's height should not go further than 2 lines below the console height. Otherwise, the display of the menu will not be correct if the user decides not to enter a number.

    Yes, that appears fixed.

    One thing I'd like to see: If you have a lot of message areas that allow polls/voting, like I do, it'd be nice if the original list of "topic areas" indicated which have polls in them (most of the areas don't). Or maybe a separate menu item to scan the areas for polls (since it could take a few seconds). MsgBase.get_msg_index() might be faster than MsgBase.get_all_msg_headers() for just checking the 'attr' property.

    Started working on the ability to select multiple items from the menu (which is done with the spacebar). Multi-item selection is enabled by setting the multiSelect property to true (which is false by default). In multi-select mode, the GetVal() function will return an array of selected return values rather than a string. The display of selected items still needs to be worked on.. Right now it will display a check mark next to selected items after the user scrolls away from the item, and the position of the check mark is currently a little wierd, but multi-select is working.
