Command menus

Command menus respond to basic touch events as follows:

  • Touch down and release on a menu item executes the associated command. On S60 5th Edition devices, the menu item needs to be focused first.

  • Touch down and release outside a menu closes the menu.

  • If a menu contains more items than can fit the visible menu area, dragging or flicking on the menu scrolls through the items.

Command menus support a scrollbar:

  • On Series 40 devices, no scrollbar is shown regardless of whether the menu needs scrolling. Dragging on the menu scrolls it.

  • On S60 5th Edition devices, a scrollbar is always shown, even when the menu does not need scrolling. From Symbian^3 onwards, the scrollbar is shown only when the menu needs scrolling. The scrollbar is touch-enabled. Dragging the scrollbar scrolls the menu.
