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.

405 A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be

411 with a special identifier @e wxID_SEPARATOR is a separator item and doesn't

ba1d7a6c

415 @note
416 Please note that @e wxID_ABOUT and @e wxID_EXIT are predefined by wxWidgets
417 and have a special meaning since entries using these IDs will be taken out
418 of the normal menus under MacOS X and will be inserted into the system menu
419 (following the appropriate MacOS X interface guideline).
420 On PalmOS @e wxID_EXIT is disabled according to Palm OS Companion guidelines.
421
c7e52709 422 Menu items may be either @e normal items, @e check items or @e radio items.
ba1d7a6c

423 Normal items don't have any special properties while the check items have a
424 boolean flag associated to them and they show a checkmark in the menu when
425 the flag is set.
23324ae1 426 wxWidgets automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its
ba1d7a6c
FM
427 value may be retrieved using either wxMenu::IsChecked method of wxMenu or
428 wxMenuBar itself or by using wxEvent::IsChecked when you get the menu

431 The radio items are similar to the check items except that all the other items
432 in the same radio group are unchecked when a radio item is checked. The radio
433 group is formed by a contiguous range of radio items, i.e. it starts at the
434 first item of this kind and ends with the first item of a different kind (or
435 the end of the menu). Notice that because the radio groups are defined in terms
436 of the item positions inserting or removing the items in the menu containing
c7e52709 437 the radio items risks to not work correctly.

442 All menus must be created on the @b heap because all menus attached to a
443 menubar or to another menu will be deleted by their parent when it is
444 deleted. The only exception to this rule are the popup menus (i.e. menus
445 used with wxWindow::PopupMenu()) as wxWidgets does not destroy them to
446 allow reusing the same menu more than once. But the exception applies only
447 to the menus themselves and not to any submenus of popup menus which are
448 still destroyed by wxWidgets as usual and so must be heap-allocated.
