Syntax

callback(0, NULL, "menu-select", struct menu_entry_t *, void *userData);

Note that all Trillian functions and notifications begin with a lower-case letter, despite the Wiki requirement that all pages start with a capital letter.

Parameters

Menu-select utilitizes the menu_entry_t structure.

struct menu_entry_t { 
 	unsigned int            struct_size; 

 	int                     menu_id; 
 	int                     sub_menu_id; 
 	int                     type; 
  
 	int                     timeout; 
 	int                     disabled; 
 	int                     num_copies; 

 	char                    *icon; 
 	char                    *text; 
 	char                    *shortcut; 

 	void                    *data; 
 	HWND                    hwnd; 

 	struct menu_entry_t     *sub_menu; 
 	struct menu_entry_t     *next_menu; 

 	ttkCallback             callback; 
}; 

menu_id
The menu ID which is returned to you.
sub_menu_id
Must be -1.
type
Specifies the type of menu it will be. There are four types that are currently supported: MENU_TEXT, MENU_POPUP, MENU_SEPARATOR or MENU_CALLBACK. A MENU_TEXT type is just a normal menu entry. A MENU_POPUP is one that provides sub menus. A MENU_SEPARATOR is a horizontal separator that can separate a menu into sections to make it easier on the eyes to read. Lastly, the MENU_CALLBACK is a place holder that can be replaced when a menu is shown, this is good for dynamic menu areas that may change often and the plugin can be able to show the most current state of the menu at the time it is drawn.
timeout
Can either be a number for the number of times it is shown before it is hidden, or can be infinite (right now infinite is the only one that works).
disabled
If you want it unclickable or not.
num_copies
Must be 0.
icon
A name of the icon to use from the skin for the menu.
text
The text to write within the menu.
shortcut
If there is a shortcut key, add it here, such as 'ctrl-t'.
data
Data returned through the callback.
sub_menu
If there are sub_menu's to this entry, add the top of the chain here.
next_menu
If there are menu's below this entry, add the next one down here.
callback
The callback where menu notifications are sent.



NOTE: The menu_entry_t will be a copy of one that was passed in. The userData should be the main thing to use when determining which menu item was chosen.

Return Value

Must return 0.

Remarks

None.
