## Discussion

Discussion Use this modifier to control the dismissal behavior of a menu. In the example below, the menu doesn’t dismiss after someone chooses either the increase or decrease action: Menu("Font size") {     Button(action: increase) {         Label("Increase", systemImage: "plus.magnifyingglass")     }     .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled)

Button("Reset", action: reset)

Button(action: decrease) {         Label("Decrease", systemImage: "minus.magnifyingglass")     }     .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) } You can use this modifier on any controls that present a menu, like a Picker that uses the menu style or a ControlGroup. For example, the code below creates a picker that disables dismissal when someone selects one of the options: Picker("Flavor", selection: $selectedFlavor) {     ForEach(Flavor.allCases) { flavor in         Text(flavor.rawValue.capitalized)             .tag(flavor)     } } .pickerStyle(.menu) .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) You can also use this modifier on context menus. The example below creates a context menu that stays presented after someone selects an action to run: Text("Favorite Card Suit")     .padding()     .contextMenu {         Button("♥️ - Hearts", action: increaseHeartsCount)         Button("♣️ - Clubs", action: increaseClubsCount)         Button("♠️ - Spades", action: increaseSpadesCount)         Button("♦️ - Diamonds", action: increaseDiamondsCount)     }     .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled)
