Re: Rows and Cols check in InitMenu() method

[Federico Di Pierro]

I finally managed to get vertical scroll kind of working playing with vertical menu size and set_format.

There is still an issues:

it seems that window is required to be at least N cols wide, where N is the length of the largest string between all NCursesMenuItems.

I'd expect NCursesMenuItems to be automatically truncated given window dimension, eg:

"mvwprintw(WIN, 1, 1, "%.*s", WIN.width(), str);"

Instead it seems i've got to truncate inputted NCursesMenuItems myself and then pass it to menu.

Is this correct?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

While trying ncurses C++ api, i struggled to understand the reason behind the check inside InitMenu: https://github.com/mirror/ncurses/blob/b22573b1ba4b51da883fa5f805b52f153fa5fae9/c%2B%2B/cursesm.cc#L154

​I don't understand why a NCursesMenu cannot be framed if it contains too many objects.

I mean, if its content can scroll, why not making it scroll taking into account that first/last row should not be touched?​

​Am i missing anything?​

​Thanks for your time,​

Federico
