Nested Menus

[DRUMZEY]

Sorry if this has been asked before, i'm new to launchbox plugin development and couldnt find the answer i was looking for.

If i want to create a number of new game menu items (having implemented the IGameMenuItemPlugin in my class) under a common parent can i do this?

e.g a menu item for 'My Plugin', with sub menu items 'Do this', 'Do That' and 'Do the other'

 

Thanks.

@DRUMZEY Unfortunately nested menu items like that are not possible currently. Your best bet for the moment would be to just add several IGameMenuItemPlugin classes (all the menu items would be added to the root), or come up with your own popup window for the various options after selecting the menu item.

Thanks for the info. The link above just took me to the API docs which I had already read. I guess ill just have to live with multiple items! Do you think there would be any plan in the future to implement this? Its a pretty common thing you might want to do.

We may at some point, but honestly it hasn't been a common request, so it probably isn't going to be prioritized soon.
