constructor()

findMenuBarAncestor()

This function will work up the stack of menus to find the first menu bar in the stack. This is required because of the additional grouping capabilities that have been added to the basic Dojo menu widgets. In the core Dojo code the "parentMenu" attribute is used to work up the stack but not all widgets in the Alfresco menu stack have this attribute (and it was not possible to set it correctly during the widget processing phase).

Returns:
Either null if a menu bar cannot be found or a menu bar widget.

isFocusable()

Source:

postCreate()

Sets the group label and creates a new alfresco/menus/AlfDropDownMenu to contain the items in the group.
