Hey, I'd like to use a custom context submenu in one of my scripts. Is there an easy way to launch such a menu from a script? I've read in a thread that script.globalsearch is using such a custom menu, but I can't understand the concept behind it.

as of kodi v17 krypton, it's very easy to create a custom context menu.

Code:

selected = xbmcgui.Dialog().contextmenu(list=["option1", "option2"])

it returns position of selected item, or -1 if cancelled.

I added this to one of my addons yesterday. Works great:

Code:

dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
tools = __get_tools(path)
try: ret = dialog.contextmenu([i[0] for i in tools])
except: ret = dialog.select('Tools', [i[0] for i in tools])
if ret > -1:
    tools[ret][1](*tools[ret][2])

Thank you guys. I get more and more excited for Krypton.
