Hi Davide,

Many thanks for putting up the demo. Will try it out soon.

Hello,

I've added HTML Panels Tips: #14 Flyout Menu | Photoshop, etc. with a demo extension showing a Flyout menu and its click handler (full code is provided on my GitHub page, link in the post) - hope this helps!

As for backwards compatibility yannick1976 asked about: PS CC needs CEP version 4 - as far as I know CC-not-2014 doesn't get CEP updates. I can't tell you about 2014.0 and 2014.1 though... Best way is to check the demo extension on them ;-)

Cheers,

Davide Barranca

Thank you ! I saw that ! And they fixed keyboard shortcuts, too

By the way, maybe you know if the new version of CSInterface.js is backwards compatible (with CC2014 and CC2014.1)...?

I have seen (in one of your tips I think - I'm taking the occasion to thank you for them) that you can have version-dependent packages but I'd rather not have to do that !

Hello Yannick,

the PS release we talk about is in fact CC 2014.2.

For instance, try putting this one in the JS:

var flyoutXML = '<Menu> \
  <MenuItem Id="menuItemId1" Label="TestExample1" Enabled="true" Checked="false"/> \
  \
  <MenuItem Label="TestExample2"> \
  <MenuItem Label="TestExample2-1"> \
  <MenuItem Label="TestExample2-1-1" Enabled="false" Checked="true"/> \
  </MenuItem> \
  <MenuItem Label="TestExample2-2" Enabled="true" Checked="true"/> \
  </MenuItem> \
  \
  <MenuItem Label="---" /> \
  <MenuItem Label="TestExample3" Enabled="false" Checked="false"/> \
  </Menu>';

csInterface.setPanelFlyoutMenu(flyoutXML);

Mind you, nested menus do not currently work in PS (but do on AE), it's a known issue.

Time permitting, I'll add a dedicated Tip to the series HTML Panels Tips (which by the way is now 13 items strong).

Anyway, it should be documented in the latest CSInterface.js file for CEP5.2.

Regards

Davide Barranca

Hello ! I would also like to add fly out menu items to my panel. I suppose the next release you're talking about is a new release of Photoshop (because I suppose a CSInterface update alone couldn't bring us flyout menus) ...? Is is scheduled yet ?

Thanks in advance

Yannick

Flyout menu for PS CC 2014 HTML extension panel

Hi,

Flyout menus were being supported by Flash panels. But after migrating to HTML5 panel, I found that it is not supporting flyout menus. However, after the release of the CC 2014 apps, I found in the CC 2014 Extension SDK documentation, that CEP 5 engine supports a SetPanelFlyoutMenu() method. But I am unable to call the method from within the extension. It gives the below error :

Seems like the method is not present in the CEPEngine_extensions API, though it is mentioned in the SDK documentation that the method should be there. Am I missing something here? Kindly help.

Thanks in advance.

Note: I have upgraded to target CC 2014 extensions as mentioned in Hallgrimur Bjornsson's below blog:
