12 A menu item represents an item in a menu.
13
14 Note that you usually don't have to deal with it directly as wxMenu methods
15 usually construct an object of this class for you.
7c913512 16
23324ae1 17 Also please note that the methods related to fonts and bitmaps are currently
30f23bcc 18 only implemented for Windows, Mac and GTK+.

21 @event{EVT_MENU(id, func)}
22 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED command, which is generated by a menu item.
23 This type of event is sent as wxCommandEvent.
24 @event{EVT_MENU_RANGE(id1, id2, func)}
25 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_RANGE command, which is generated by a range of menu items.
26 This type of event is sent as wxCommandEvent.
27 @event{EVT_MENU_OPEN(func)}
28 A menu is about to be opened. On Windows, this is only sent once for each
29 navigation of the menubar (up until all menus have closed).
30 This type of event is sent as wxMenuEvent.
31 @event{EVT_MENU_CLOSE(func)}
32 A menu has been just closed.
33 This type of event is sent as wxMenuEvent.
34 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT(id, func)}
35 The menu item with the specified id has been highlighted: used to show
36 help prompts in the status bar by wxFrame
37 This type of event is sent as wxMenuEvent.
38 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT_ALL(func)}
39 A menu item has been highlighted, i.e. the currently selected menu item has changed.
40 This type of event is sent as wxMenuEvent.

54 Menu items can be standard, or "stock menu items", or custom.
55 For the standard menu items (such as commands to open a file, exit the
56 program and so on, see @ref page_stockitems for the full list) it is enough
57 to specify just the stock ID and leave @a text and @a helpString empty.
e91ce12d
VZ
58 Some platforms (currently wxGTK only, and see the remark in SetBitmap()
59 documentation) will also show standard bitmaps for stock menu items.
ba1d7a6c 60
e91ce12d 61 Leaving at least @a text empty for the stock menu items is actually strongly
23324ae1
FM
62 recommended as they will have appearance and keyboard interface (including
63 standard accelerators) familiar to the user.
ba1d7a6c 64
4cc4bfaf
FM
65 For the custom (non-stock) menu items, @a text must be specified and while
66 @a helpString may be left empty, it's recommended to pass the item
ba1d7a6c
FM
67 description (which is automatically shown by the library in the status bar
68 when the menu item is selected) in this parameter.

23324ae1 70 Finally note that you can e.g. use a stock menu label without using its stock

73 @code

352 Note that if the ID of this menu item corrisponds to a stock ID, then it is
353 not necessary to specify a label: wxWidgets will automatically use the stock
354 item label associated with that ID. See the @ref wxMenuItem::wxMenuItem "constructor"
355 for more info.
356
357 The label string for the normal menu items (not separators) may include the
358 accelerator which can be used to activate the menu item from keyboard.
359 An accelerator key can be specified using the ampersand <tt>&</tt> character.
360 In order to embed an ampersand character in the menu item text, the ampersand
361 must be doubled.
362
363 Optionally you can specify also an accelerator string appending a tab character
364 <tt>\\t</tt> followed by a valid key combination (e.g. <tt>CTRL+V</tt>).
365 Its general syntax is any combination of @c "CTRL", @c "ALT" and @c "SHIFT" strings
366 (case doesn't matter) separated by either @c '-' or @c '+' characters and followed
367 by the accelerator itself.
368 The accelerator may be any alphanumeric character, any function key
369 (from F1 to F12) or one of the special characters listed in the table
370 below (again, case doesn't matter):
371 - @c DEL or @c DELETE: Delete key
372 - @c INS or @c INSERT: Insert key
373 - @c ENTER or @c RETURN: Enter key
374 - @c PGUP: PageUp key
375 - @c PGDN: PageDown key
376 - @c LEFT: Left cursor arrow key
377 - @c RIGHT: Right cursor arrow key
378 - @c UP: Up cursor arrow key
379 - @c DOWN: Down cursor arrow key
380 - @c HOME: Home key
381 - @c END: End key
382 - @c SPACE: Space
383 - @c TAB: Tab key
384 - @c ESC or @c ESCAPE: Escape key (Windows only)
