Hierarchical Menu

You can use the Menu control to create hierarchical menus. Wijmo's hierarchical menus support all the options supported by flat menus, including openOnHover, isAnimated, and right-to-left layouts. You can set these options by using the openOnHover, isAnimated, and rightToLeft properties.

In the example below, we have created a menu bar which contains two Menu controls. Each one is bound to a hierarchical list of commands which is an array of objects where items may contain child items. For example, the File menu has a New option with three sub-items: Project, Site, and File.:

HTML

 <div class="maincontainer">
<div class="menubar">
  <div class="container">
    <div id="menu-file"></div>
    <div id="menu-edit"></div>
  </div>
</div>

CSS

.maincontainer
{
  width: 600px;
  height: 300px;
  background-color: lightblue;
  margin: 30px;
}

/* element affected by the menu commands */

#menu-target {
  font-size: 18pt;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 16px;
  margin: 6px 0;
  background: #00c1d5;
  color: black;
  border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, .25);
}

/* bar containing the menus */

.menubar {
  position: sticky;
  display: flex;
  background: #fddfa7;
  padding: 12px;
  top: 0;
  width: 400px;  
}

/* customize wijmo default styles */

.wj-state-selected {
  color: black;
  background: orange;
}

.wj-menu {
  padding: 6px 14px;
  border: none;
  background: transparent;
}

.wj-menu:hover,
.wj-menu.wj-state-focused {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .05);
}

.wj-menu .wj-input-group .wj-input-group-btn {
  display: none;
  /* hide the menu's drop-down buttons */
}

.wj-listbox.wj-menu-items {
  min-width: 8em;
  border: none;
  background: #fddfa7;
}

.wj-listbox.wj-menu-items .wj-listbox-item:not(.wj-separator) {
  padding: 6px 12px;
}
