1\section{\class{wxMenu}}\label{wxmenu}
2
3A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
4selected before the menu goes away (clicking elsewhere dismisses the
5menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.
6
7A menu item has an integer ID associated with it which can be used to
8identify the selection, or to change the menu item in some way.

20
21If the menu is part of a menubar, then \helpref{wxMenuBar}{wxmenubar} event processing is used.
22
23With a popup menu, there is a variety of ways to handle a menu selection event
24(wxEVT\_COMMAND\_MENU\_SELECTED).
25
26\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
a660d684
KB
27\item Derive a new class from wxMenu and define event table entries using the EVT\_MENU macro.
28\item Set a new event handler for wxMenu, using an object whose class has EVT\_MENU entries.
29\item Provide EVT\_MENU handlers in the window which pops up the menu, or in an ancestor of
30this window.
1aaef614 31\item Define a callback of type wxFunction, which you pass to the wxMenu constructor.
874a1686 32The callback takes a reference to the menu, and a reference to a
1aaef614
VZ
33\helpref{wxCommandEvent}{wxcommandevent}. This method is deprecated and should
34not be used in the new code, it is provided for backwards compatibility only.

68Destructor, destroying the menu.
69
b412f9be
JS
70Note: under Motif, a popup menu must have a valid parent (the window
71it was last popped up on) when being destroyed. Therefore, make sure
72you delete or re-use the popup menu {\it before} destroying the
73parent window. Re-use in this context means popping up the menu on
74a different window from last time, which causes an implicit destruction
75and recreation of internal data structures.

91Adds a menu item object. This is the most generic variant of Append() method
92because it may be used for both items (including separators) and submenus and
93because you can also specify various extra properties of a menu item this way,

467\wxheading{Event handling}
468
469To respond to a menu selection, provide a handler for EVT\_MENU, in the frame
e702ff0f
JS
470that contains the menu bar. If you have a toolbar which uses the same identifiers
471as your EVT\_MENU entries, events from the toolbar will also be processed by your
472EVT\_MENU event handlers.
473
474Note that menu commands (and UI update events for menus) are first sent to
475the focus window within the frame. If no window within the frame has the focus,
476then the events are sent directly to the frame. This allows command and UI update
477handling to be processed by specific windows and controls, and not necessarily
478by the application frame.
