How to tell when a UIMenu gets DISMISSED

Question

I have a UIButton with a UIMenu attached, I need to know when the UIMenu is dismissed (by tapping outside the UIMenu) so I can remove the button that the UIMenu is attached to.

I have seen there are notifications for UIMenuController, but that is different.

edit: Here's some additional info because this question was related to a different question.

I don't care when the UIMenu is called, I only care when it is dismissed

I understand your objection and I've reopened, but it's still really the same issue as #69710816 (in another guise). – Empiricism

I had considered that, so I tried the implementation on that issue, but uideferredelement menu.uncached is only calling when the menu appears. not when its dismissed. But maybe im implementing it wrong. – Lightening

I do not say the answer answers your question. I'm saying it's effectively the same question, namely where are the signals when the menu appears / disappears? – Empiricism

Answer 1

You have to create custom button (for call menu) and override its method contextMenuInteraction(_:willEndFor:animator:). Add your action inside this method for removing the button that the UIMenu is attached to.

But can we also differentiate between: a) User pressed in the background b) User selected an option – Okelley
