Interface IUnityMenuViewInstanceFactory

Unity/Infrastructure-side abstraction that wraps the per-menu visual construction step:
it creates the Unity menu view through IMenuViewFactory and applies the initial hide, returning the hidden view.
This is a thin extraction of the construction sequence that previously lived inline in the installer's view-creation loop. It deliberately does NOT create UI options, normalize options, read game settings, build fallback options, create view-models, register presenters, initialize the menu service, or make any lifecycle/instantiation policy decisions.

Namespace: Serenity.Menu.Infrastructure.Views.Factories

Assembly: Serenity.UnityMenu.Infrastructure.dll

Syntax

public interface IUnityMenuViewInstanceFactory

Methods

CreateHiddenView(IMenuServiceSettingsDefinition, IMenuSettingsDefinition, Dictionary<string, UiOption[]>, object, MenuUseCases, IViewModel, IViewBrowserService, IEventDispatcherService, List<IFoundationActionDefinition>, string, IUiThemeDefinition)

Creates the Unity menu view and applies the initial hide, in exactly the same order the installer uses today: CreateView(...) followed by ExecuteHideMenu().
The signal behaviour of that sequence is preserved (the trailing hide dispatches the menu's OnHide lifecycle signals once, as it does during eager installation).

Declaration

IViewBase CreateHiddenView(IMenuServiceSettingsDefinition menuServiceSettings, IMenuSettingsDefinition menuSettings, Dictionary<string, UiOption[]> uiOptions, object canvas, MenuUseCases menuUseCases, IViewModel viewModel, IViewBrowserService viewBrowserService, IEventDispatcherService eventDispatcherService, List<IFoundationActionDefinition> menuActions, string audioServiceId, IUiThemeDefinition theme)
