.NET Maui allows developers to create Menus and ContextMenu for desktop apps.
In MauiReactor you can easily add a Menu bar to a desktop application by adding the MenuBarItem
control under a page like it's shown in the following example:
new ContentPage
{
new MenuBarItem("File")
{
new MenuFlyoutSubItem("Project")
{
new MenuFlyoutItem("Open...")
.OnClicked(OnOpenProject),
},
new MenuFlyoutSeparator(),
new MenuFlyoutItem("Exit")
.OnClicked(OnExitApplication),
},
RenderBody()
}
For the context menu, you have to add the MenuFlyout under the control that should show the menu like it's shown below:
new Label(person.Initial)
{
new MenuFlyout
{
new MenuFlyoutItem("MenuItem1")
.OnClicked(()=>OnClickMenuItem("MenuItem1")),
new MenuFlyoutItem("MenuItem2")
.OnClicked(()=>OnClickMenuItem("MenuItem2")),
new MenuFlyoutItem("MenuItem3")
.OnClicked(()=>OnClickMenuItem("MenuItem3")),
}
}
Please note that not all controls support the context menu (like the ViewCell): for a list of unsupported controls please refer to official .NET MAUI documentation.
