Configuration Attributes

autosubmenudisplay - Boolean

Boolean indicating if submenus are automatically made visible when the user mouses over the menu bar's items.
Default Value: false

position - String

String indicating how a menu bar should be positioned on the screen. Possible values are "static" and "dynamic." Static menu bars are visible by default and reside in the normal flow of the document (CSS position: static). Dynamic menu bars are hidden by default, reside out of the normal flow of the document (CSS position: absolute), and can overlay other elements on the screen.
Default Value: static

submenualignment - Array

Array defining how submenus should be aligned to their parent menu bar item. The format is: [itemCorner, submenuCorner].
Default Value: ["tl","bl"]

submenutoggleregion - Boolean

Boolean indicating if only a specific region of a MenuBarItem should toggle the display of a submenu. The default width of the region is determined by the value of the SUBMENU_TOGGLE_REGION_WIDTH property. If set to true, the autosubmenudisplay configuration property will be set to false, and any click event listeners will not be called when the user clicks inside the submenu toggle region of a MenuBarItem. If the user clicks outside of the submenu toggle region, the MenuBarItem will maintain its standard behavior.
Default Value: false
