How does such context menu could be created:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18674#p157659
?
Here is what I have currently:
Code: Select all
"Paste" #202
"Undo" #203
"Redo" #204
"Refresh" #1001
"New Shortcut" #241
"New Items (should be expandable. How?)" #240

By using
and either manually stored items for "New items" or by parsing them in their location...

I have tried different examples from docs, but it works slightly different compared to the linked image. On the image, as you can see, the item on first menu is already expandable. In my case, it doesn't. Here is my current code:
Code: Select all
"Paste" #202
"Undo" #203
"Redo" #204
"Refresh" #1001
"New Shortcut" #241
"New" // #240
$menu = <<<MENU
Top;;:paper;1
Sub;;;4
Sub
Sub2;;*.ini
Sub2
Sub2;;;2
Top;;<xy>
MENU;
text popupnested($menu);

Ofc you need to arrange these leading items in the popupnested() menu as well?

Well, here is updated version. Much cleaner:
Code: Select all
$menu =
<<<MENU
Paste;#202;:paste
Undo;#203;:undo
Redo;#204;:redo
Refresh;#1001;:refresh
New Items;#240
Foo
Bar
MENU;
popupnested($menu);
Now I trying to understand how to add "new items" in place of "Foo" and "Bar". Here is what I mean:

"Parsing them in their location" as you said - I understand what it mean, but I don't understand how to write it in code

Examples for SC
new().
Code: Select all
new("NewFolder", "dir");
new("file.txt");

Could you please show how to use it together with my code?

What? You're already using the necessary structure in your other items?
Code: Select all
Paste;#202;:paste
caption;DATA;icon
What to use for DATA for an item was posted and how to execute that returned DATA stuff was also posted...

I'm not a programmer. If it's hard to post a working solution? I see your code, but it works for "Paste" button. I already have working "Paste" button. I'm trying to understand how to add "new folder" and "new text file" instead of "Foo" and "Bar".

For example, I tried this:
Code: Select all
$menu =
<<<MENU
Paste;#202;:paste
Undo;#203;:undo
Redo;#204;:redo
Refresh;#1001;:refresh
New Items
Foo;new("NewFolder", "dir"));
Bar;new("file.txt")
MENU;
popupnested($menu);
eval($menu);
It doesn't work for me.

You need to assign popupnested()'s return value to a variable and eval that or do it directly in one go.
Atm the menu is displayed but what it returns isn't stored / nor eval()'d
or
Code: Select all
$selected = popupnested($menu);
eval($selected);
