• a checkbox would have an additional pointer to an int/char variable (and possibly if a "triple state" is possible [would evaluate to -1], off = 0, on = 1)

• for options we likely would have two set of definitions:

  • an option group which defines a pointer to an int/char variable and the place the option group is placed and possibly if a triple state is possible
  • the actual options (common definitions like short cuts and text here + the value that is used for this option)

@okbob Is it understandable what I mean? Should those two additional control types be split to two issues?

• configure (generated from configure.ac when running autogen.sh and heavily different depending on the actual version of the installed tools, so very likely to get conflicts when generated with a different version)
• st_menu.pc (generated during configure from st_menu.pc.in)
• config.make (generated during configure from config.make.in)

When looking at @tysenmoore-xse's repo we also see that as long as the generated files are in it happens that those are adjusted and committed, instead of the "sources", which is another reason to remove them.

Together with the deletion I suggest to add those files to git ignore.

Extra null pointer checks are not needed in functions like the following.

• _st_menu_free
• st_cmdbar_free

I would like to point out that an identifier like “_ST_MENU_ITEM” does not fit to the expected naming convention of the C language standard.
Would you like to adjust your selection for unique names?

If I change the demo.c (for example) to to not block waiting for an input event the menu does not work correctly. I added the following to the main()

nodelay(stdscr, TRUE);

I can no longer get selections while using the mouse. For example, go into the menu and select something, it does not work. If I use the command bar key presses they work. I also noticed the submenus open just fine. The selection of any item using the mouse seems to be the only problem.

I also tried to step through the code and it sometimes works.

Is this expected behavior? (I assume no) Has anyone experienced this before? Is this mode supported by the menu? Or, am I not using this feature properly?

Thanks for the time and any support.

I'm having an issue setting this up on NetBSD. I first get an error with ./autogen.sh

Then doing the command again appears to work for some reason

And then running ./configure tells me that netbsd isn't supported despite the documentation stating it does

Is there a dependency I'm missing?

Edit: I just wanted to add I get the same exact errors in OpenBSD too. So this appears to be a *BSD issue rather than a specific OS issue.

Edit 2: autogen.sh also fails on linux, but regular configure and make works without issue.

Is it possible to use ncurses-st-menu as context menu (a panel including the "normal" menu definition horizontally) already?

If not: please consider this feature request.

The readme suggests that X11/WinCon are the only options when using PDCurses.
Does st-menu support PDCurses + SDL2 ?
