11
12 A menu bar is a series of menus accessible from the top of a frame.
13
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.

381 @class wxMenu
382
383 A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
384 selected before the menu goes away (clicking elsewhere dismisses the
385 menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.
386
387 A menu item has an integer ID associated with it which can be used to
388 identify the selection, or to change the menu item in some way. A menu item
389 with a special identifier @e wxID_SEPARATOR is a separator item and doesn't
390 have an associated command but just makes a separator line appear in the
391 menu.
392
393 @note
394 Please note that @e wxID_ABOUT and @e wxID_EXIT are predefined by wxWidgets
395 and have a special meaning since entries using these IDs will be taken out
396 of the normal menus under MacOS X and will be inserted into the system menu
397 (following the appropriate MacOS X interface guideline).
398 On PalmOS @e wxID_EXIT is disabled according to Palm OS Companion guidelines.
399
400 Menu items may be either @e normal items, @e check items or @e radio items.
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.
404 wxWidgets automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its
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
407 notification for the item in question.
408
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
415 the radio items risks to not work correctly.
416
417
418 @section menu_allocation Allocation strategy
419
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.
427
428 As the frame menubar is deleted by the frame itself, it means that normally
429 all menus used are deleted automatically.
430
431
432 @section menu_eventhandling Event handling
433
434 If the menu is part of a menubar, then wxMenuBar event processing is used.
435
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
445 connection; see @ref overview_events_bind.
