Menu widget: doesn't come with selection group feature

Axure RP 8

Selection groups aren’t available with menu widgets.
Is there a workaround, or should I fallback on rectangle-widgets?
Or repeaters? I’ve noticed a lot of people on this forum use repeaters for dropdown lists instead of rectangles.
What’re the advantages?

Thanks,
John

Hi John!

Yep, you’re right that selection groups aren’t available with the Menu widgets, so the best way forward would be to build your own customized menu, using either shape widgets or the repeater widget. Which one you want to use will depend on the functionality you’re trying to build with your menu. If it’s a simple menu, I’d recommend just using shape widgets and customizing them from there. If you need the menu to dynamically add or delete widgets, then the repeater widget may be what you’re looking for. I’d also be happy to provide further guidance if you could provide an example or let me know what type of menu (or dropdown list) you’re trying to build.
