UI.SimpleMenu

Creates a SimpleMenu, an ingame menu which can be controlled by the arrow keys & numpad keys. The name comes from its (currently) limited functionality and aims to provide very basic, but useful menu functionality.
This function has to be called from inside a Script. If you wish to handle Text input from users, use UI.SimpleTextInput.

Syntax
UI.SimpleMenu()
- Returns UISimpleMenu instance
Remarks
The Menu will be invisible until a call to UISimpleMenu:Activate or UISimpleMenu:Toggle. You can easily bind a Menu to a Key, see UISimpleMenu:Toggle for more information.
Entry and Entry Index
Every item inside the SimpleMenu is called Entry. There are different types of Entry (Button, Checkbox, Search, etc.). Every entry that is added to a SimpleMenu receives an "index" which can be used to modify it later.
Entry Types
Supported Versions | Type | Screenshot | Description | Methods |
---|---|---|---|---|
All | Button | A button with text. Triggers a callback when Numpad 5 is pressed. | UISimpleMenu:AddButton | |
Checkbox | Can be checked and unchecked using Numpad 5. Triggers an element when the checked state changes. | UISimpleMenu:AddCheckbox | ||
Search | Allows searching through all the elements in the menu. Once text is entered, they are filtered according to a "Fuzzy"-Search (case-insensitive). Entries which do not fit the filter are hidden. Triggers no callback. | UISimpleMenu:AddSearch | ||
Legion ScriptHook & Mafia DE ScriptHook | List | Supports multiple entries which can be selected using Numpad 4/6 and Arrows Left/Right. A callback is triggered every time the selected element changes. | UISimpleMenu:AddList
UISimpleMenu:GetSelectedListEntry | |
Text | Text field which supports multi-line text and word-wrapping. Stretches automatically to fit the size of the text. This entry can not be selected and triggers no callback. | UISimpleMenu:AddText |
