PerlPanel::MenuBase(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    PerlPanel::MenuBase(3)

NAME

       PerlPanel::MenuBase - a base class for PerlPanel menu applets.

SYNOPSIS

	       package PerlPanel::Applet::MyMenu;
	       use base 'PerlPanel::MenuBase';
	       use strict;

	       sub create_menu {

		       my $self = shift;

		       $self->menu->append($self->menu_item(
			       'Hello World!',
			       $icon,
			       sub { print "Hello World!
" }
		       ));
		       return 1;
	       }

	       1;

DESCRIPTION

       "PerlPanel::MenuBase" is a base class that does as much as possible to abstract the nuts-and-bolts details of building a PerlPanel menu
       applet. If you use "PerlPanel::MenuBase" to write a menu applet, you don't need to worry about menu hierarchies or icons - all that's done
       for you. Instead to can concentrate on building your menu backend.

USAGE

       "PerlPanel::MenuBase" is a base class - that means, you must write a Perl module that inherits from it. The "use base" line in the example
       above is one way you can do this. Then you simply override the "configure()" and "create_menu()" methods with your own.

STANDARD METHODS

	       $self->add_control_items;

       This method appends the standard set of PerlPanel control options to the menu. The menu will subsequently look like this:

	       |			       |
	       | ----------------------------- |
	       | Lock Screen		       |
	       | Run Program... 	       |
	       | Take Screenshot...	       |
	       | ----------------------------- |
	       | Shut Down...		       |
	       | Reboot...		       |
	       | ----------------------------- |
	       | Configure...		       |
	       | Close Panel		       |
	       | Add To Panel		     > |
	       | ----------------------------- |
	       | About...		       |
	       +-------------------------------+

	       my $item = $self->menu_item($label, $icon, $callback);

       This returns a ready-prepared Gtk2::ImageMenuItem. This method does a lot of hard work for you - $label is set as the text label for the
       item, and if defined, $callback is connected to the 'activate' signal.

       $icon can be either a file, a "Gtk::Gdk::Pixbuf", or a stock ID.  "menu_item" will automagically resize the icon to fit in with the rest of
       the menu.

	       my $icon = $self->get_icon($string, $is_submenu_parent);

       This method is deprecated and is no longer available. Use PerlPanel::lookup_icon() instead.
