LibDropDownMenu (WoW AddOn Library)

       

Description

This is a converted version of Blizzards UIDropDownMenu from WoW Retail into a library accessable by LibStub. I update it from time to time to current retail version.

XML Errors in Retail
Since Blizzards new xml error handling it is a problem to use xml templates in libraries. I've converted the templates into lua functions.

Little extra with version r24

Since version r24 this library has a little extra i've missed in original. I like to use easymenu but the original has no option to add a separator by menuList table.

local menuList = {
	{ text="Some text", isTitle = true },
	{ separator = true }, -- new in r24
	{ text="More text", func=function() end}
}

@Blizzard feel free to add it to the original 🤓

The XML templates are converted into lua functions

UIDropDownMenuButtonTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenuButton(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>
UIDropDownListTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenuList(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>
UIDropDownMenuTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenu(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>

Currently the optsTable can contain only one usable entry. { id= }

Example

local lib = LibStub("LibDropDownMenu");
local menuFrame = lib.Create_DropDownMenu("MyAddOn_DropDownMenu",UIParent); -- instead of template UIDropDownMenuTemplate
local menuList = {
	{ text="TestTitle", isTitle=true },
	{ text="TestFunction", isNotRadio=true, notCheckable=false }
};
lib.EasyMenu(menuList,menuFrame,"cursor",0,0,"MENU");
