10 | @class wxMenuBar | |
7c913512 | 11 | |
23324ae1 | 12 | A menu bar is a series of menus accessible from the top of a frame. |
7c913512 | 13 | |
ba1d7a6c FM |
14 | @remarks |
15 | To respond to a menu selection, provide a handler for EVT_MENU, in the frame | |
16 | that contains the menu bar. | |
17 | ||
18 | If you have a toolbar which uses the same identifiers as your EVT_MENU entries, | |
19 | events from the toolbar will also be processed by your EVT_MENU event handlers. | |
20 | ||
21 | Tip: under Windows, if you discover that menu shortcuts (for example, Alt-F | |
22 | to show the file menu) are not working, check any EVT_CHAR events you are | |
23 | handling in child windows. | |
24 | If you are not calling event.Skip() for events that you don't process in | |
25 | these event handlers, menu shortcuts may cease to work. | |

c7e52709 | 400 | Menu items may be either @e normal items, @e check items or @e radio items. |
ba1d7a6c FM |
401 | Normal items don't have any special properties while the check items have a |
402 | boolean flag associated to them and they show a checkmark in the menu when | |
403 | the flag is set. | |
23324ae1 | 404 | wxWidgets automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its |
ba1d7a6c FM |
405 | value may be retrieved using either wxMenu::IsChecked method of wxMenu or |
406 | wxMenuBar itself or by using wxEvent::IsChecked when you get the menu | |
23324ae1 | 407 | notification for the item in question. |

409 | The radio items are similar to the check items except that all the other items |
410 | in the same radio group are unchecked when a radio item is checked. The radio | |
411 | group is formed by a contiguous range of radio items, i.e. it starts at the | |
412 | first item of this kind and ends with the first item of a different kind (or | |
413 | the end of the menu). Notice that because the radio groups are defined in terms | |
414 | of the item positions inserting or removing the items in the menu containing | |
c7e52709 | 415 | the radio items risks to not work correctly. |

418 | @section menu_allocation Allocation strategy | |
419 | ||
d16ba464 VZ |
420 | All menus must be created on the @b heap because all menus attached to a |
421 | menubar or to another menu will be deleted by their parent when it is | |
422 | deleted. The only exception to this rule are the popup menus (i.e. menus | |
423 | used with wxWindow::PopupMenu()) as wxWidgets does not destroy them to | |
424 | allow reusing the same menu more than once. But the exception applies only | |
425 | to the menus themselves and not to any submenus of popup menus which are | |
426 | still destroyed by wxWidgets as usual and so must be heap-allocated. | |
c7e52709 | 427 | |
ba1d7a6c FM |
428 | As the frame menubar is deleted by the frame itself, it means that normally |
429 | all menus used are deleted automatically. | |

432 | @section menu_eventhandling Event handling | |

ba1d7a6c | 435 | |
c7e52709 FM |
436 | With a popup menu (see wxWindow::PopupMenu), there is a variety of ways to |
437 | handle a menu selection event (@c wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED): | |
438 | - Provide @c EVT_MENU handlers in the window which pops up the menu, or in an | |
439 | ancestor of that window (the simplest method); | |
440 | - Derive a new class from wxMenu and define event table entries using the @c EVT_MENU macro; | |
441 | - Set a new event handler for wxMenu, through wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler, | |
442 | specifying an object whose class has @c EVT_MENU entries; | |
443 | ||
444 | Note that instead of static @c EVT_MENU macros you can also use dynamic | |
8d2d37d2 | 445 | connection; see @ref overview_events_bind. |
