<concept id="GUID-C4E728B4-3E84-49A4-83CB-DF146420D78A" xml:lang="en"><title>Stylus

pop-up menu</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>Stylus pop-up menu is the primary menu for showing item-specific options.

Application only needs to tag items to be item-specific and the application

framework handles the remaining tasks. Item-specific options can

be attached to almost all the items. </p>

<fig id="GUID-45264A92-D57F-41D5-8337-0701D90C84AE">

<title>Stylus pop-up menu opened from a list.</title>

</fig>

<p>Stylus pop-up is mainly used to offer dynamic functions, and the functions

supported by touch-enabled devices. The stylus pop-up menu can also be used

directly on top of applications. For example, on an image in Browser, the

stylus pop-up menu can be used for offering <uicontrol>Save as…</uicontrol> and

similar options.</p>

<p>Following are the guidelines to be followed while designing the menu:</p>

<ul>

<li><p>Item-specific pop-up menu should not be used with buttons and multi-selection

list or grid items.</p></li>

<li><p>Stylus pop-up menu should have only six items.</p></li>

<li><p>If used for items other than item-specific menu items, it is recommended

to open the pop-up with touch down and hold.</p></li>

<li><p>Stylus pop-up menu has no sub-menus.</p></li>

<li><p>Functions that are performed via touch down and release are not duplicated

in the stylus pop-up menu. For example, 'Open' or 'Change' should not be in

the stylus pop-up menu.</p></li>

</ul>

<p> Background is not dimmed when the stylus pop-up menu is shown. The menu

disappears automatically after six seconds (or as soon as the user selects

an item or taps outside the pop-up area).</p>

<p>The stylus pop-up menu is scrollable and a scrollbar is added if the number

of items exceeds what fits the component.</p>
