This is awesome Thank you very much :)
Can you help me with changing menu items with keyboard?e.g move up/down on menu items with keyboard key up/down and enter for selecting Thanks

Hi ! I'm a student ! i found your code here. I tried to use it in my game. And all i could do is Selected() and unSelected to make it scale. I have no idea how to use onEnter() , onExit(), activate() and postponedActivate() in the right way and what is SEL_MenuHandler selector in the function create(). I tried so much on google but hopeless, so i come back here, hope you can give me a little exemple. I will be so grateful.
