What is the technique for utilizing a slider in MenuBarExtra of SwiftUI?

edit

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a slider directly to a MenuBarExtra in SwiftUI as it is a limited environment that only supports basic views. However, you can use a workaround by launching a separate popover view that contains your slider when the user clicks on the MenuBarExtra icon. Here are the steps to achieve this:

1. Create a new SwiftUI view that contains your slider and any other UI elements that you want to present. Call this view "SliderView" for example.

2. In your App's main view, add a MenuBarExtra button that triggers a popover view when clicked. Here is an example code for the main view:

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        // Add a button to the MenuBarExtra that triggers a popover view
        MenuBarExtra {
            SliderPopoverView()
        }
        .buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
        .frame(width: 22, height: 22)
        .contentShape(Rectangle())
    }
}

1. Create a new SwiftUI view that displays the SliderView in a popover when it is triggered by the MenuBarExtra button. Here is an example code for the popover view:

struct SliderPopoverView: View {
    @State private var sliderValue = 50.0

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Slider(value: $sliderValue, in: 0...100)
                .padding()
            Text("Slider value: \(Int(sliderValue))")
                .padding()
        }
        .frame(width: 180, height: 100)
        .padding()
    }
}

1. Add any customization to the popover view that you want. You can adjust the size and layout of the view, and add any other UI elements that you want.

2. Finally, you can customize your MenuBarExtra button with an image or any other UI element that you want. In this example, a plain button style is used to make the button appear more like an icon.

And that's it! You can now present a slider in a popover view when the user clicks on the MenuBarExtra button.
