This function is implemented in :Initialize FrameXML/UIDropDownMenu.lua.

Binds an initialization function to a dropdown menu, configures its appearance.

UIDropDownMenu_Initialize(dropDown, initFunc, displayMode, level, menuList)

Arguments

dropDown

Frame - dropdown frame inheriting from UIDropDownMenuTemplate to initialize.

initFunc

Function - function that will be used to display the menu.

displayMode

Optional string - if "MENU", the visual elements of dropDown will be hidden and the menu, when shown, will be styled as a context menu rather than a dropdown list.

level

Optional, Any - Used as an argument to initFunc.

menuList

Optional, Any - Used as an argument to initFunc.

Details

This function will call

initFunc(dropDown, level, menuList)

when called, although the dropdown menu will not be shown. If your initialization function uses level and menuList, consider providing appropriate values.

If you're creating a dropdown menu, but do not need your initFunc to be called immediately, you can use

dropDown.initialize = initFunc

in place of this call.
