Hello Mates,

I am creating a screen which extends the MainScreen that causes the default 'Close' menu option to be appended to the menu items that I have added.

I don't want that default 'Close' option.

Is there any way of remove/ disabling the 'Close' menu item??

Please help me out..

Thanks,
Alpesh

I had that problem some months ago. Firstly, you must NOT implement the makeMenu method of your main screen like this:

protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
    super.makeMenu(menu, 0);
  }

.

I had that method like that, and the default close menu item could not be removed. Then I will give you the implementation of the makeMenu in some of my pages that my application shows (I use context menu, but the idea for the menu is the same I think):

protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
    ContextMenu contextMenu = ContextMenu.getInstance();
    contextMenu.clear();
    contextMenuListener.makeContextMenu(contextMenu);
    menu.deleteAll();
    menu.add(contextMenu);
  }

.

Implementing the makeContextMenu method (method of my own made ContextMenuListener) you can add your own menu items.

public void makeContextMenu(ContextMenu contextMenu) {
      //...some other menu items
      contextMenu.addItem(MenuItem.separator(32));
      contextMenu.addItem(preferences);
      contextMenu.addItem(MenuItem.separator(45));
      contextMenu.addItem(close);
    }

.

That is my way of doing it !

One more thing. The close menu item looks like this:

private MenuItem close = new MenuItem("Exit", 50, 10) {
      public void run() {
         //...add whatever you want :)
         System.exit(0);
      }
    };

. Good Luck !

Hey mate,

Nice
It works for me.

        protected  void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance)
	{
	    ContextMenu contextMenu = ContextMenu.getInstance();
	    contextMenu.setTarget(this);
	    contextMenu.clear();
	    this.makeContextMenu(contextMenu);
	    menu.deleteAll();
	    menu.add(contextMenu);
	}

	public void makeContextMenu(ContextMenu contextMenu) {
		contextMenu.addItem(close);
	}

Thanks a lot,
Alpesh

hi

i read your thread and i have the same requirement i.e. to remove the default "Close " menu item. But when i tried out as discussed i am not able to remove the default close menuitem. i tried it like this:

 protected void makeMenu(Menu menu , int instance) {
        ContextMenu contextMenu = ContextMenu.getInstance();
        contextMenu.setTarget(this);
        contextMenu.clear();
        contextMenuListener.makeContextMenu(contextMenu);
        menu.deleteAll();
        menu.add(contextMenu);
    } 
    
     public void makeContextMenu(ContextMenu contextMenu) {
                contextMenu.addItem(refresh); 
                contextMenu.addItem(configure);
              contextMenu.addItem(logout);
           }

contextMenuListener cannot be found.

Hi

I think problem is with,

contextMenuListener.makeContextMenu(contextMenu);

You can refine it by extending the MainScreen class and try with,

this.makeContextMenu(contextMenu);

One more solution to this is,
Remove super.makeMenu(menu, instance); from

protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
//super.makeMenu(menu, instance); // Do not call 
}

Hope this may help you

Thanks,
