EZPopUpMenu

A wrapper class for a label plus a popUpMenu with per item actions
Location: NOT INSTALLED!

Description

EZPopUpMenu is wrapper class which creates an (optional) label and a popUpMenu. It includes per item actions as well as a global action which are both evaluated upon selection of an item. Convenience methods for inserting and deleting menu items are also included . If the parent is nil, then EZPopUpMenu will create its own window.See EZGui and EZLists for all of the options.

Some Important Issues Regarding EZPopUpMenu

The convenience methods for EZPopUpMenu require that the items array is an array of associations of labels and functions, not like in PopUpMenu, where items is simply an array of strings. If label is nil, then no staticText is created.
