activecontent and menu

I cannot make menu view work properly in activeContent:

I’m using button with list popup as workaround, but I would prefer working menu

ativeContent was made for inputs such as buttons, checkboxes, etc. Technically, you can use a button with the popup. Another way is to create a menu button using template and type properties:

I see. I suggest then to make a note in docs about that. In current
"ActiveContent module lets developers get rid of drawing interactive elements themselves and makes it possible to use existing Webix controls for it. In other words it allows for inserting one Webix view into another. "
reader gets the impression that any view could be in ActiveContent

Right you are, we will. The ActiveContent feature is constantly improving but still not ideal, so in some cases we recommend to use a regular html-template for controls within the list/datatable items.
