gfx.showmenu() and nested submenu bug? (FIXED)

tack · 12-11-2016, 08:21 PM

Hi all,

I am trying to construct a menu that looks like:

Code:

- Toplevel 1
   - Nested
         - Inner
- Toplevel 2

The menu syntax for showmenu() says to prefix the item with < to indicate it's the last item in a submenu. However above I want 'Inner' to terminate two submenus (Nested and Toplevel 1).

Near as I can tell, Reaper doesn't support this kind of structure? I have tried the obvious:

Code:

>Toplevel 1|>Nested|<<Inner|Toplevel 2

To no avail. The only workaround I could see is:

Code:

>Toplevel 1|>Nested|<Inner|<|Toplevel 2

But because of the empty item, there is a separator at the bottom of Submenu.

I think this could be fixed easily enough: just have |<| semantically mean terminate a submenu. This would also allow this grammar, equivalent to the above, which is superior IMO as it's more friendly to programmatic generation of the menu string.

Code:

>Toplevel 1|>Nested|Inner|<|<|Toplevel 2
