Creating a Menu
Creating a menu is done either by returning the menu-related results from commands or by instantiating a DefaultMenu (or a MenuBase implementation) yourself and starting or running it using the methods on your client instance.
Make sure you've read views before proceeding.
Standalone Example
This example starts a menu from an OnMessageReceived() callback.
protected override async ValueTask OnMessageReceived(BotMessageReceivedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Message.Content == "standalone_menu")
{
var menu = new DefaultMenu(/* your view */)
{
// Limits the menu usage to just the specific user.
// This is set automatically for View() results in commands.
AuthorId = e.AuthorId
};
await Bot.StartMenuAsync(e.ChannelId, menu);
}
}
Command Examples
This example starts a menu from a command.
[Command("command_menu")]
public DiscordCommandResult CommandMenu()
{
return View(/* your view */);
}
