The SnomIPPhoneMenu displays a Menu of selectable items. These items can either be sub-menus, containing items themselves, or items with a specific target, like URLs, key-events or internal callbacks.

For this how to, we will create an example menu for setting features for incoming calls. The menu will include two menu items: The first one to switch server managed DND on/off, a second one to configure Call Forward.

</IPPhoneMenu>

Adding menu items

  • New items can be added to the XML menu with the <MenuItem></MenuItem> tag.
  • To give the menu item a name, add name="" to the tag. You can give it a static name, or use the $(lang:SETTING) variable. With this, the item name will be translated automatically to the language the user has selected on the phone. 
  • For further references, you can assign an ID to the menu item. We will use id="serverDnd" and id="serverCfw" for our two menu items.
<SnomIPPhoneMenu>
	<MenuItem Name="$(lang:incoming_calls_settings)">
		<MenuItem name="$(lang:dnd_line)" id="serverDnd">
		
		</MenuItem>
		<MenuItem "$(lang:redirect_settings)" id="serverCfw">


		</MenuItem>
	</MenuItem>
</SnomIPPhoneMenu>

Subtext

You can also use the tag <SubText> to display more information, e.g. which submenus lay behind the menu item.

<SnomIPPhoneMenu>
	<MenuItem name="$(lang:auto_dial)">
		<SubText>
			$(lang:redirect_settings), $(lang:outgoing_calls_settings), $(lang:incoming_calls_settings), $(lang:xsi_anywhere)
		</SubText
	</MenuItem>
</SnomIPPhoneMenu>

Adding pre-loaded icons to the menus

The phone comes equipped with a couple of icons that are used in different call states and features. You can find the icons in the customisation package of each firmware version in the folder:

You can refer to any of these icons in your XML code. To display an icon from the folder extraicontype_icons, simply add:

<SnomIPPhoneMenu>
	<MenuItem name="$(lang:auto_dial)">
		<ExtraIconType>$(icon_type_enum:kIconTypePhoneStateDND)</ExtraIconType>
		<URL>https://ds.cloud-cfg.com/snom/0004139227B7/8fb1ba7b28291a0c0192cbefec44366759a668c0f888397ec3cb6cf69a82be5d/autodialset/0</URL>
	</MenuItem>
</SnomIPPhoneMenu>


Submenus

You can indicate to the user that there are submenus behind that menu time, by showing the arrow_right icon () next to the name of the menu item.  For this add the following tag to your XML code:

<ExtraIconType>$(icon_type_enum:kIconTypeMenuArrowRight)</ExtraIconType>
