Creating a SideShow Menu Page

A device that implements the SideShow interface will have navigation keys, by which the user can move items around on a display. It will also have a Select key and a Menu key, as well as a Back key that allows the user to exit from a page. These allow the user to navigate content that the device has downloaded. You can create menu items on the display so that the user can select downloaded content.

memoGadget.AddContent(
   Scf.Menu(
      1,
      "Main Menu",
      ScfSelectAction.Target,
      Scf.Item(100, "Active Locations"),
      Scf.Item(101, "Duty Roster"),
      Scf.Item(102, "Archive"),
      Scf.Div(),
      Scf.Item(103, "Help")
   )
);
