Welcome to the LightMenuBar wiki!

What it looks

How to use it

1. Download the tarball, unzip it.

2. Drag the subfolder LightMenuBar into your project

3. Use LightMenuBar as a UIView

    LightMenuBar *menuBar = [[LightMenuBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, 320, 40) andStyle:LightMenuBarStyleItem];
    menuBar.delegate = self;
    [self.window addSubview:menuBar];
   

4. Refer to the bottom of file LightMenuBarAppDelegate.m to see the implementation of delegate. As least you implement three of them.

    - (NSUInteger)itemCountInMenuBar:(LightMenuBar *)menuBar {
        return 6;
    }
   
    - (NSString *)itemTitleAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index inMenuBar:(LightMenuBar *)menuBar {
        return [@"BN" stringByAppendingFormat:@"%d", index];
    }
   
    - (void)itemSelectedAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index inMenuBar:(LightMenuBar *)menuBar {
        dispLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d Selected", index];
    }
   

Miscellaneous

In my own project, I need two kinds of menu bar, so we have two styles here.

typedef enum {
    LightMenuBarStyleItem,  /**< After tapping on an item, the item is highlighted */
    LightMenuBarStyleButton /**< When tapping on an item, the item is highlighted, after tapping, the   item state changed to normal */
} LightMenuBarStyle;

For an item, after you select it, it keeps highlighted, while for a button, after you tap-and-release it comes back to its normal state.
