How would you add a submenu or dropdown menu to a toolbar button, similar to the tools in the "Task" toolbar?
I tried the following JavaScript, included in my JavaScripts directory, but the popout menu will only display in the viewport, not over any toolbars which may be below the button.
It looks like addSubMenu should only be used to add submenus to the Menus, not the toolbar buttons.
myNewMenuPopUp = app.trustedFunction( function()
{
app.beginPriv();
var cChoice = app.popUpMenu("Flatten Page", "Flatten Document");
switch(cChoice){
case "Flatten Page":
flattenPages(this.pageNum);
break;
case "Flatten Document":
flattenPages();
break;
}
app.endPriv();
});
app.addToolButton({ cName: "Document tools button", cExec: "myNewMenuPopUp();", cMarked: "event.rc = false", cEnable: true, cTooltext: "Document tools",cLabel: "Document Tools"});
