How to use the drop down from the navigation bar's top right side

[ayushmandey97]

So the bar button item having ". . ." is where I want the dropdown to happen, instead of the title. Any ideas as to how to accomplish this?

@ayushmandey97 currently the feature you're requesting is not supported. But I do want it because the rightButtonBarItem is also a part of navigation view. Thanks.

(just out of curious, why do you close this interesting feature request?)

Actually I was able to find a way to do that, so I closed it. My bad.

So this is how I did it:

1. Drag a UIView to the right side of the navigation bar. And create an outlet to it named "navOptionView".

2. Use this code snippet to make it work like I wanted it to.

//Setting the toolbar for dropdown menu
let menuView = BTNavigationDropdownMenu(title: ". . .",  items: items as [AnyObject])
self.navOptionView.customView = menuView
menuView.didSelectItemAtIndexHandler = {[weak self] (indexPath: Int) -> () in
      print("Did select item at index: \(indexPath)")
}

Nice workaround. Thanks for sharing 👍

No problem. Just one more thing, incase someone implements this till the feature is ready. Inside the BTNavigationDropdownMenu.swift file, comment out the following line.

func setMenuTitle(_ title: String) {
        //self.menuTitle.text = title
}

This is so that the ". . ." button doesn't change every time you select an option.

@ayushmandey97 Another option is to just set menuView.shouldChangeTitleText = false

Can I use Image ( three dots ) for right bar button and make dropdown ?
