# 1.38 23-Jun-2019 martin

Use OPT_NOMENU as error return for new_menu (instead of old hard coded -1).
Update man page for the OPT_NOMENU change.

# 1.37 25-Feb-2019 martin

Add an option to supress the vertical space between menu title and
menu items.


# 1.36 16-Feb-2019 martin

Typo in member variable name


# 1.35 16-Feb-2019 martin

Document return values from menu items opt_action functions, add a
new variant: -1 when functions have fundamentally changed the menu
definition on the fly and the processing functions needs to restart
without looking at the old state (or stale cached pointers).

# 1.33 21-Nov-2018 uwe

Try to provide the typesetting help requested.


# 1.32 21-Nov-2018 martin

Add (optional) support for expanded static menu texts - that is: whatever
the application programmer defines as expansion, e.g. to implement
parameter substitution.
While here add rudimentary documentation of the dynamic messages
feature (so at least the parser and the syntax documented here
are in sync).
The man page could use some typesetting help...

Remove the advertising clause and appease the eye a bit (still not good, but
better). Almost no functional change.

# 1.23 02-Aug-2004 wiz

branches: 1.23.6;
Sort sections; avoid to mark up punctuation unnecessarily; use \*[Lt]\*[Gt]
instead of <>; use Sq.


# 1.22 02-Aug-2004 dsl

Support menu windows that preserve the underlying screen contents.
(Needs a libcurses fix as well).
No need to ponce about with __m_endwin (to remember we've done endwin()),
the old recovery was wrong in any case - but I've left something that
will do an explicit redraw.
Allow the 'help' text to be from a variable (and hence translated).
Fix the display of help so that the screen underneath is actually cleared.
Preserve the screen contents while displaying help - redraw is too hard.
Use endwin(); doupdate(); to do the full refresh when ^L is typed.
Move menus up the screen if they would hit the bottom with too few lines
to show an item and the scroll text (happens with big titles).
Make 'y=0' center the window vertically - use of 0 means you can't have
a menu starting on the topline, but this is unlikely to be a problem.
Make all the menu options settable from the control file, not just from
dynamic menus.
Redo menu option list part of man page.

# 1.21 11-Nov-2003 wiz

branches: 1.21.4;
Bump date for last changes; remove duplicate "the"; mark up NULL.


# 1.20 18-Oct-2003 dsl

Add an MC_ALWAYS_SCROLL to mean "always allow space for 'scrolltext'".
All scrolltext to be #defined so it can be translated.


# 1.19 27-Jul-2003 dsl

More tweaks for sysinst.
Let 'display action' routine set menu->cursel (ie default menu item).
Remove 'opt' parameter I added to action routine (not that useful).
Make man page slightly closer to reality.


# 1.18 09-Jun-2003 dsl

More changes to improve sysinst:
- pass 'menudesc' and 'arg' values to post_act() and exit_act()
- add set_menu_numopt() for variable length menus
- fix (badly broken) allocation/free of dynamic menus
- option to allow default selection to be the exit line


# 1.17 04-Jun-2003 dsl

Add 'exit' (for exit text) parameter to new_menu() for dynamic menus.
Correct calculation of menu height and whether scrolling needs (was wrong
if a height was specified that was smaller that the number of lines needed).
Move keypad(m->mw, TRUE) to stop core dump when newwin() fails.
Allow for calling code hacking m->h (to reduce number of lines displayed).
Add a MC_NOCLEAR option to leave menu text showing when doing action.


# 1.16 09-May-2003 wiz

Join some lines; mdoc improvements; use more macros.
