SelectMenu

Edit this page Leave feedback

The SelectMenu component is triggered on the click of a button, and expands from the center if not close to the edge of the page. The Menu contains a list of MenuItems, with a white background, and level 2 elevation. The Menu also remembers the user’s selection and displays it as the label for the button/link trigger.

The Modal brings focus to the first menu element upon the click of the trigger, and can be escaped on click away or key press. Set a default message with the defaultMessage prop string. Use the defaultSelected prop to signify that a menuItem is the default to open to.
