/**
    @class wxMenu
    @wxheader{menu.h}

    A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
    selected before the menu goes away (clicking elsewhere dismisses the
    menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.

    A menu item has an integer ID associated with it which can be used to
    identify the selection, or to change the menu item in some way. A menu item
    with a special identifier -1 is a separator item and doesn't have an
    associated command but just makes a separator line appear in the menu.

    @note Please note that @e wxID_ABOUT and @e wxID_EXIT are
    predefined by wxWidgets and have a special meaning since entries
    using these IDs will be taken out of the normal menus under MacOS X
    and will be inserted into the system menu (following the appropriate
    MacOS X interface guideline). On PalmOS @e wxID_EXIT is disabled according
    to Palm OS Companion guidelines.

    Menu items may be either normal items, check items or radio items. Normal items
    don't have any special properties while the check items have a boolean flag
    associated to them and they show a checkmark in the menu when the flag is set.
    wxWidgets automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its
    value may be retrieved using either wxMenu::IsChecked method
    of wxMenu or wxMenuBar itself or by using
    wxEvent::IsChecked when you get the menu
    notification for the item in question.

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