exec/load dd_lightbar_menu.js 1.5 1.6
Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv15577

Modified Files:
dd_lightbar_menu.js
Log Message:
New function: AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys(), which adds additional keys that can be used to select any item (in addition to Enter). This function takes an array, and the keys are case-sensitive. For example, to add the key E to select any item (assuming the menu object is lbMenu):
lbMenu.AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys(["E"]);
To make a case-insensitive verison, both the uppercase and lowercase letter would need to be added, as in the following example for E:
lbMenu.AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys(["E", "e"]);

Also, after showing the menu & getting a value from the user (using the GetVal() function), the lastUserInput property will have the user's last keypress.

An array of strings is an odd way to represent an array of keys. Is each only only one character? If so, then a string is the normal way to represent an array of characters.

I suppose that's true. I should probably change it as such.

exec/load dd_lightbar_menu.js 1.6 1.7
Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv3623

Modified Files:
dd_lightbar_menu.js
Log Message:
AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys() now takes a string specifying additional keys rather than an array of strings. For instance, if you want both lowercase 'e' and uppercase 'E' to allow selecting an item, the call would look like this (assuming lbMenu is the menu object):
lbMenu.AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys("eE");

Also, changed AddAdditionalQuitKeys() to work the same way.

Note: If you are using SlyVote, you will need to also update SlyVote, since SlyVote has also been updated to call AddAdditionalQuitKeys() this way.

Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv15214

Modified Files:
dd_lightbar_menu.js
Log Message:
Scrollbar functionality finally exists now, even though there was already a property to toggle a scrollbar from the beginning.. A scrollbar can be useful to visually show how far the user is in the list of items, particularly if the list is long.
You can enable the display of a scrollbar by setting the scrollbarEnabled property to true. By default, it is false. For instance (assuming the menu object is lbMenu):
lbMenu.scrollbarEnabled = true;
When enabled, the scrollbar will appear on the right side of the menu. If borders are enabled, the scrollbar will appear just inside the right border. Also, if the scrollbar is enabled but all the items would fit in a single "page" in the menu, then the scrollbar won't be displayed.
The scrollbar uses block characters to draw the scrollbar: ASCII character 176 for the background and ASCII 177 for the block that moves on the scrollbar. If you want to change those characters, you can change the scrollbarInfo.BGChar and scrollbarInfo.blockChar properties in the menu object.
By default, the scrollbar colors are high (bright) black for the background and high (bright) white for the moving block character. If desired, those can be changed with the colors.scrollbarBGColor and colors.scrollbarScrollBlockColor properties in the menu object.

exec/load dd_lightbar_menu.js 1.10 1.11
Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv941

Modified Files:
dd_lightbar_menu.js
Log Message:
When displaying the menu items, rather than directly referring to the list of menu item objects, there are now a couple of functions (mainly for internal use), NumItems() (which returns the number of items) and GetItem() (which returns a specific menu item object). The intent is that calling code can replace these two functions in the DDLightbarMenu object to have the DDLightbarMenu effectively access a different list of items rather than its own list of items. This can be more efficient, for instance, in scripts that are working with a Synchronet messagebase, to avoid calling DDLightbarMenu's Add() function to add/copy a bunch of data, which can take significant time (i.e., if a messagebase contains a lot of messages).

The colors.itemColor and colors.selectedItemColor properties in a DDLightbarMenu object can now be either a string (with Synchronet color/attribute codes for the item text) or an array with objects specifying color/attribute codes for different parts of an item's text string displayed on the menu.
Item color arrays: Currently, colors.itemColor and colors.seletedItemColor within a DDLightbarMenu object can be either a string (containing color/attribute codes) or an array with color/attribute codes for different sections of the item strings to display in the menu. The array is to contain objects with the following properties:
start: The index of the first character in the item string to apply the colors to
end: One past the last character index in the string to apply the colors to
attrs: The Synchronet attribute codes to apply to the section of the item string
For the last item, the 'end' property can be -1, 0, or greater than the length of the item to apply the color/attribute codes to the rest of the string.

Log Message:
Each menu item can now (optionally) have its own colors specified. If specified, the colors set in an item object take precedence over the item colors set in the DDLightbarMenu object. The itemColor and itemSelectedColor properties in an item object set the normal and selected item color, respectively, and they default to null (no color specified, so the menu would default to the menu object's configured item colors).

Log Message:
In the user input loop, the case for checking the additional quit keys was moved above the case checking for the spacebar. The spacebar normally selects an item in multi-select mode, but the calling code might want the spacebar to be an additional keypress for exiting out of the menu input loop (i.e., if the calling code wants to respond to the spacebar to do something else).

Log Message:
For a screen update optimization, implemented a way to temporarily restrict which part of the items to draw the next time Draw() is called (and thus when WriteItem() is called for each tiem). There is a new property in the DDLightbarMenu class, nextDrawOnlyItemSubstr, that can be set to an object with 'start' and 'end' properties specifyign the start and end indexes (1 past the last char index) of the item strings to write in the menu the next time Draw() is called. Draw() will then set nextDrawOnlyItemSubstr to null when it's done.

The new property nextDrawOnlyItems is an array that contains indexes for specific items to be written the next time the menu is drawn. It can be used as a display optimization; for example, if the menu is redrawn in an input loop in the calling code and the selected item changed on the same 'page' on the menu, then the calling code can add the indexes of the 2 items to redraw the next the the menu is drawn so that the menu will only refresh those 2 items on the screen rather than the whole page of items.
