I'm using Electron.Net to wrap an ASP.Net MVC webpage, and I'm currently trying to replace the default menu. I've got a custom menu working, and the code is replacing the menu. But when the program is run using electronize start, the default menu shows until I click on the leftmost default item (file). Once I click on the item, my menu loads.
I think the issue is related to the MenuController only running when the Menu is interacted with, so I think I need to implement some kind of async capabilities. I do not know how to do this, I've looked online but not found much.
MenuController.cs
public IActionResult Index()
{
if (HybridSupport.IsElectronActive)
{
MenuItem[] menu = new MenuItem[]
{
new MenuItem
{
Label = "File",
Submenu = new MenuItem[]
{
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Open",
Accelerator = "CmdOrCtrl+O"
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Save",
Accelerator = "CmdOrCtrl+S"
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Save As",
Accelerator = "CmdorCtrl+Shift+S"
}
}
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Edit",
Submenu = new MenuItem[]
{
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Preferences"
}
}
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "View",
Submenu = new MenuItem[]
{
new MenuItem
{
Label = "TODO"
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Reload",
Click = () =>
{
Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.ToList().ForEach(BrowserWindow =>
{
if (BrowserWindow.Id != 1)
BrowserWindow.Close();
else
BrowserWindow.Reload();
});
}
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Toggle Full Screen",
Accelerator = "CmdOrCtrl+F",
Click = async () =>
{
bool isFullScreen = await Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First().IsFullScreenAsync();
Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First().SetFullScreen(!isFullScreen);
}
},
new MenuItem
{
Type = MenuType.separator
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Open Developer Tools",
Accelerator = "CmdOrCtrl+Shift+I",
Click = () =>
{
Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First().WebContents.OpenDevTools();
}
}
}
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Navigate",
Submenu = new MenuItem[]
{
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Home",
Submenu = new MenuItem[]
{
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Home",
Click = () =>
{
Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First().LoadURL($"http://localhost:{BridgeSettings.WebPort}/");
}
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Privacy",
Click = () =>
{
Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First().LoadURL($"http://localhost:{BridgeSettings.WebPort}/Privacy");
}
}
}
},
new MenuItem
{
Type = MenuType.separator
},
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Editor",
Submenu = new MenuItem[]
{
new MenuItem
{
Label = "Editor",
Click = () =>
{
Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First().LoadURL($"http://localhost:{BridgeSettings.WebPort}/Editor/");
}
}
}
}
}
}
};
Electron.Menu.SetApplicationMenu(menu);
}
return Ok();
}

Update: I just re-ran the program the next day and it works now. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
