Overflow menu icon

Post by Pat »

The overflow menu on iOS is using the Share icon.

While this may well be the context for some menu actions, it's not appropriate for in-app commands.

Is there a way of altering the Icon?

You can change the icon by creating a form command item with placement 'Present Overflow Area Button'.
Make sure 'Display Style' is set to 'Default'

Not sure I agree about the icon just being for sharing - the Apple doco says "Meaning : Open an action sheet that lists system-provided and app-specific services that act on the specified content.".

At the XCode Objective-C coding level Apple provide a standard button called the System Action button …

The action button uses that icon – so I think Apple do mean it to mean more than just Share.
