Using styles with the Menu component
You can call the
setStyle() method to change the style of the menu, its items, and its
submenus.The Menu component supports the following styles:
Style Theme Description
themeColor
Halo The base color scheme of a component. Possible values are
"haloGreen", "haloBlue", and "haloOrange". The default
value is
"haloGreen".
alternatingRowColors
Both Specifies colors for rows in an alternating pattern. The value
can be an array of two or more colors, for example,
0xFF00FF, 0xCC6699, and 0x996699. Unlike single-
value color styles,
alternatingRowColors does not accept
color names; the values must be numeric color codes. By
default, this style is not set, and
backgroundColor is used in
its place for all rows.
backgroundColor
Both The background color of the menu. The default color is
white and is defined on the class style declaration. This style
is ignored if
alternatingRowColors is specified.
backgroundDisabledColor
Both The background color when the component’s enabled
property is set to
"false". The default value is 0xDDDDDD
(medium gray).
border styles
Both The Menu component uses a RectBorder instance as its
border and responds to the styles defined on that class. See
“RectBorder class” on page 647.
The default border style is
"menuBorder".
color
Both The text color.
disabledColor
Both The color for text when the component is disabled. The
default color is 0x848384 (dark gray).
embedFonts
Both A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in
fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to
true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise,
the embedded font will not be used. If this style is set to
true
and
fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text
will be displayed. The default value is
false.
fontFamily
Both The font name for text. The default value is "_sans".
fontSize
Both The point size for the font. The default value is 10.
fontStyle
Both The font style: either "normal" or "italic". The default value
is
"normal".
fontWeight
Both The font weight: either "none" or "bold". The default value
is
"none". All components can also accept the value
"normal" in place of "none" during a setStyle() call, but
subsequent calls to
getStyle() will return "none".
textAlign
Both The text alignment: either "left", "right", or "center". The
default value is
"left".
