Message Context Menu

When a user long-presses a message in the chat UI, a pop-up window will appear, offering different options based on the current message type and conversation type. You can customize the display name, order, and even add or remove menu options.

Customizing the Menu Options for Long-Press Message Pop-up

When a message is long-pressed in the chat UI RCChatViewController, the following method is called before the menu is displayed. You can override this method to customize the menu:

- (NSArray<RCMessageEditBarItem *> *)willDisplayEditMenu:(NSArray<RCMessageEditBarItem *> *)items forMessageModel:(RCMessageModel *)messageModel {

   /// Use super to get the default menu options
    NSMutableArray *tempList = [super willDisplayEditMenu:items forMessageModel:messageModel].mutableCopy;

    /// Delete
    for (RCMessageEditBarItem *item in tempList) {
        if (item.tag == RCMessageEditBarItemDelete) {
            [tempList removeObject:item];
        }
    }

    /// Add
    RCMessageEditBarItem *barItem = [RCMessageEditBarItem itemWithTitle:@"Custom option" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"voice"] action:^(RCBarItem *item){
          /// Click action
    }];
    barItem.tag = 2003;
    [tempList addObject:barItem];

    return tempList.copy;
}

The default menu options can be distinguished by their tags, as shown below:

Function	tag
Read	RCMessageEditBarItemRead
Reply	RCMessageEditBarItemReply
Forward	RCMessageEditBarItemForward
Copy	RCMessageEditBarItemCopy
Delete	RCMessageEditBarItemDelete
Select	RCMessageEditBarItemSelect
