really i realize the design is not optimal but it can not be changed
at this time. i need to make it work the way it is. please use that
as the starting assumption. (telling someone to change their design
more frustrating than actually helpful)
if you care, the menu in the menu bar has 30 items in it, the first 5
have keyboard shortcuts and enablement set to look nice.
the rest of the items EACH have their OWN sub-menu, some with a dozen
items in it. so "borrowing" is the rational choice, rather than
duplicating all those menus AND sub menus and the nice keyboard
shortcut glyphs etc etc. it is NOT a light-weight menu.
anyway i figured it out.
the logic went like this
start context menu
menu "about to show" callback
remove menu from menu bar
insert it into context menu
user tracks context menu
menu "done showing" callback:
remove menu from context
put it back in menu bar
menu action would be called here, but menu is GONE! HAHA!
end context menu
new logic:
start context menu
menu "about to show" callback
remove menu from menu bar
insert it into context menu
user tracks context menu
menu "done showing" callback:
post an event saying "put stuff back later"
--> menu action !! YES!
end context menu
"put stuff back later" callback:
remove menu from context
put it back in menu bar
