MenuItem: Disable on click

[yuriy-fix]

Description

Enable developers to use the setDisableOnClick(boolean) method on MenuItems, similar to the existing API on buttons. This feature will prevent multiple triggering of heavy-running code associated with MenuItems when clicked, ensuring that MenuItems are disabled on click and can only be re-enabled from the server side.

Use cases

As a developer
I want to set the MenuItem to disable on click using setDisableOnClick(boolean)
So that I can prevent the user from repeatedly triggering heavy processes and improve the performance and user experience of the application

As an end user
I want to have the MenuItem disabled after I click it once
So that I can avoid accidentally triggering multiple instances of a resource-intensive process

Acceptance criteria

• The setDisableOnClick(boolean) method is available for MenuItems.
• MenuItems with setDisableOnClick(true) are disabled immediately after being clicked, including both top-level and dropdown items.
• MenuItems are only re-enabled from the server, similar to buttons with the setDisableOnClick feature.
• Clicking a disabled MenuItem (whether top-level or dropdown) does not trigger any additional actions.
• setDisableOnClick(true) does not affect MenuItems with submenus (applicable also when Open on Hover is enabled).
  • This behavior should be documented
• Toggling items respect setDisableOnClick(true), disabling after toggling and preventing further actions until re-enabled.
• The client-side state of the MenuItem is correctly updated with setEnabled(boolean), ensuring proper handling of changes during the same round trip.
• Re-attaching a MenuItem with setDisableOnClick(true) retains the disableOnClick behavior correctly.
