I want to add a MenuItem of the new m3 theme to a ButtonMenu via code:
from m3._Components.MenuItem import MenuItem
MenuItem(text="My Menu Item")
self.my_button_menu ... # what do I need here?
I tried to use add_component()" method of the button menu object, or set the menu_items, but this seems to be always None`. What is the correct way to dynamically add menu items, and in which functions is this possible?
The menu_items property is supposed to make it easier to add components to the ButtonMenu, but it actually just uses add_component and specifies the slot the items need to go into:
def menu_items(self, value=[]) -> list:
"""A list of components to be added to the menu."""
for i in value:
self.add_component(i, slot='anvil-m3-buttonMenu-slot')
So if you wanted more control over how components are added, you can still use add_component, e.g.
i = m3.MenuItem()
self.button_menu_1.add_component(i, slot='anvil-m3-buttonMenu-slot')
