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

20 | ||
21 | If the menu is part of a menubar, then \helpref{wxMenuBar}{wxmenubar} event processing is used. | |
22 | ||
23 | With 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 | |
30 | this window. | |
1aaef614 | 31 | \item Define a callback of type wxFunction, which you pass to the wxMenu constructor. |
874a1686 | 32 | The callback takes a reference to the menu, and a reference to a |
1aaef614 VZ |
33 | \helpref{wxCommandEvent}{wxcommandevent}. This method is deprecated and should |
34 | not be used in the new code, it is provided for backwards compatibility only. | |

67 | ||
68 | Destructor, destroying the menu. | |
69 | ||
b412f9be JS |
70 | Note: under Motif, a popup menu must have a valid parent (the window |
71 | it was last popped up on) when being destroyed. Therefore, make sure | |
72 | you delete or re-use the popup menu {\it before} destroying the | |
73 | parent window. Re-use in this context means popping up the menu on | |
74 | a different window from last time, which causes an implicit destruction | |
75 | and recreation of internal data structures. | |

1aaef614 VZ |
91 | Adds a menu item object. This is the most generic variant of Append() method |
92 | because it may be used for both items (including separators) and submenus and | |
93 | because you can also specify various extra properties of a menu item this way, | |

471 | \wxheading{Event handling} |
472 | ||
473 | To respond to a menu selection, provide a handler for EVT\_MENU, in the frame | |
e702ff0f JS |
474 | that contains the menu bar. If you have a toolbar which uses the same identifiers |
475 | as your EVT\_MENU entries, events from the toolbar will also be processed by your | |
476 | EVT\_MENU event handlers. | |
477 | ||
478 | Note that menu commands (and UI update events for menus) are first sent to | |
479 | the focus window within the frame. If no window within the frame has the focus, | |
480 | then the events are sent directly to the frame. This allows command and UI update | |
481 | handling to be processed by specific windows and controls, and not necessarily | |
482 | by the application frame. | |
a660d684 | 483 | |
0ddef74d JS |
484 | {\bf Tip:} under Windows, if you discover that menu shortcuts (for example, Alt-F to show the file menu) |
485 | are not working, check any EVT\_CHAR events you are handling in child windows. | |
486 | If you are not calling {\tt event.Skip()} for events that you don't process in these event handlers, | |
487 | menu shortcuts may cease to work. | |
