Description

The Menu control is used to give the user a choice what action to take next. Each item can have a number, a description and an optional time.

You supply it with a list of items, and it will create one choice for each item. After the menu is first displayed, you need to recalulate the size of the scrolling area by doing Controlname.refresh().

To add a Menu to your app, choose the Menu icon in the Toolbar. Use the Property Editor to set the properties.

Properties and Methods

Standard properties are supported, plus:

addItem(name [,img src],[item]) Add name to position item on the list. If item is not supplied, add to the end. The img src argument is optional.
deleteItem(item) If item is not supplied, the last one is deleted. If "all", all items are deleted.
getItem(i) Returns the text of item i.
getItemCount() Returns the number of items
times A comma separated list of times. If blank, no time for the choice.. (design time only)
items A comma separated list of choices to be offered. (design time)
refresh() Recalculates the size of the scrolling area after control is first displayed.
replaceItem(item, name[, img src]) Replace an existing item
scroll_options This control makes use of iScroll. It has a number of options, including:

bounce: true/false. When the end of the scroll area is reached, should the image bounce?

zoom: true/false. Allow two finger zoom in gesture?

The full list of options is documented here: http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4

In addition to the standard events, Menu has a modified version of onclick.
