C# - Connecting signals to sub menus of Menu Button

JayPD

Hello, see code below:

		// Sub-Menu
		openmenu.Name ="submenu_open";
		openmenu.AddItem("Game Directory");
		openmenu.Connect("id_pressed", this, "SubMenuPressed");
		base.GetPopup().AddChild(openmenu);

		// Menu Items
		base.GetPopup().AddSubmenuItem("New", "submenu_new"); 
		base.GetPopup().AddSubmenuItem("Open", "submenu_open"); 
		// base.GetPopup().AddItem("Save"); 
		// base.GetPopup().AddItem("Save As..."); 
		base.GetPopup().AddItem("Options"); 
		base.GetPopup().AddItem("Help"); 
		base.GetPopup().AddItem("Exit");
		
		// Signals
		base.GetPopup().Connect("id_pressed", this, "MenuPressed");

For example, clicking on "Open -> Game Directory" prints "New" as it's the first item:

	private void MenuPressed(int item_signal)
	{
		string target = base.GetPopup().GetItemText(item_signal);
		GD.Print(target + " is MainMenu");

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong with the signal connects?

I found the root of the problem in the Methods themselves:

	private void SubMenuOpenPressed(int item_signal)
	{
		string target = base.GetPopup().GetItemText(item_signal);
		GD.Print(target + " is SubMenu Open.");

Should have been:

		string target = openmenu.GetItemText(item_signal);

I didn't realize I'm calling back the root Menu -_-

Gonne leave this up for reference anyway. It was hard enough translating various GD Script code snippets found here and there to C# for the Menu Button.

Hopefully it helps someone.
