BUG? Popup Menu Background and Logic Silicon

10

If you’re looking for workarounds, one possiblity might be to override getParentComponentForMenuOptions to return a pointer to your top-level component in your look and feel.

Taking the LookAndFeel example above, adjust it like so:

class TestLookAndFeel : public LookAndFeel_V4
{
public:
    explicit TestLookAndFeel (juce::Component& tlc)
        : topLevelComponent (tlc)
    {
        const Colour newBgColour (53, 53, 53);
        const Colour newFgColour (220, 220, 220);
        setColour (PopupMenu::highlightedBackgroundColourId, newFgColour);
        setColour (PopupMenu::highlightedTextColourId, newBgColour.withAlpha (0.9f));
        setColour (PopupMenu::backgroundColourId, newBgColour.withAlpha (0.9f));
        setColour (PopupMenu::textColourId, newFgColour);
    }

    juce::Component* getParentComponentForMenuOptions (const PopupMenu::Options&) override
    {
        return &topLevelComponent;
    }

    void drawPopupMenuBackground (Graphics& g, int width, int height) override
    {
        Rectangle<int> area (0, 0, width, height);

        g.setColour (findColour (PopupMenu::backgroundColourId));
        g.fillRoundedRectangle (area.toFloat().reduced (0.5f), 4.0f);
    }

    juce::Component& topLevelComponent;
};

When constructing the LookAndFeel, pass in a reference to your plugin’s AudioProcessorEditor.

Now, the popupmenu will be added to your main editor window, rather than creating a whole new floating window. It should render correctly, although the size of the popup menu will be constrained to the size of the main editor window.
