    @class wxMenuItem

    A menu item represents an item in a menu.

    Note that you usually don't have to deal with it directly as wxMenu methods
    usually construct an object of this class for you.

    Also please note that the methods related to fonts and bitmaps are currently
    only implemented for Windows and GTK+.

class wxMenuItem : public wxObject
{
public:
    /**
        Constructs a wxMenuItem object.

        Menu items can be standard, or "stock menu items", or custom.
        For the standard menu items (such as commands to open a file, exit the
        program and so on, see @ref page_stockitems for the full list) it is enough
        to specify just the stock ID and leave @a text and @a helpString empty.

        In fact, leaving at least @a text empty for the stock menu items is strongly
        recommended as they will have appearance and keyboard interface (including
        standard accelerators) familiar to the user.

        For the custom (non-stock) menu items, @a text must be specified and while
        @a helpString may be left empty, it's recommended to pass the item
        description (which is automatically shown by the library in the status bar
        when the menu item is selected) in this parameter.

        Finally note that you can e.g. use a stock menu label without using its stock
        help string:

        @code
        // use all stock properties:
        helpMenu->Append(wxID_ABOUT);

        // use the stock label and the stock accelerator but not the stock help string:
        helpMenu->Append(wxID_ABOUT, wxEmptyString, wxT("My custom help string"));

        // use all stock properties except for the bitmap:
        wxMenuItem *mymenu = new wxMenuItem(helpMenu, wxID_ABOUT);
        mymenu->SetBitmap(wxArtProvider::GetBitmap(wxART_WARNING));
        helpMenu->Append(mymenu);
        @endcode

        that is, stock properties are set independently one from the other.

        @param parentMenu
            Menu that the menu item belongs to. Can be @NULL if the item is
            going to be added to the menu later.
        @param id
            Identifier for this menu item. May be @c wxID_SEPARATOR, in which
            case the given kind is ignored and taken to be @c wxITEM_SEPARATOR
            instead.
        @param text
            Text for the menu item, as shown on the menu. An accelerator key can
            be specified using the ampersand " character. In order to embed an
            ampersand character in the menu item text, the ampersand must be doubled.
        @param helpString
            Optional help string that will be shown on the status bar.
        @param kind
            May be @c wxITEM_SEPARATOR, @c wxITEM_NORMAL, @c wxITEM_CHECK or
            @c wxITEM_RADIO
        @param subMenu
            If non-@NULL, indicates that the menu item is a submenu.
