}}\label{wxmenu
}
3 A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
4 selected before the menu goes away (clicking elsewhere dismisses the
5 menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.
7 A menu item has an integer ID associated with it which can be used to
8 identify the selection, or to change the menu item in some way.

21 If the menu is part of a menubar, then
\helpref{wxMenuBar
}{wxmenubar
} event processing is used.
23 With a popup menu, there is a variety of ways to handle a menu selection event
24 (wxEVT
\_COMMAND\_MENU\_SELECTED).
26 \begin{enumerate
}\itemsep=
0pt
27 \item Derive a new class from wxMenu and define event table entries using the EVT
\_MENU macro.
28 \item Set a new event handler for wxMenu, using an object whose class has EVT
\_MENU entries.
29 \item Provide EVT
\_MENU handlers in the window which pops up the menu, or in an ancestor of
31 \item Define a callback of type wxFunction, which you pass to the wxMenu constructor.
32 The callback takes a reference to the menu, and a reference to a
33 \helpref{wxCommandEvent
}{wxcommandevent
}. This method is deprecated and should
34 not be used in the new code, it is provided for backwards compatibility only.

}

64 \membersection{wxMenu::
\destruct{wxMenu

66 \func{}{\destruct{wxMenu

68 Destructor, destroying the menu.
70 Note: under Motif, a popup menu must have a valid parent (the window
71 it was last popped up on) when being destroyed. Therefore, make sure
72 you delete or re-use the popup menu
{\it before
} destroying the
73 parent window. Re-use in this context means popping up the menu on
74 a different window from last time, which causes an implicit destruction
75 and recreation of internal data structures.

}
594 \wxheading{Event handling
}
596 To respond to a menu selection, provide a handler for EVT
\_MENU, in the frame
597 that contains the menu bar. If you have a toolbar which uses the same identifiers
598 as your EVT
\_MENU entries, events from the toolbar will also be processed by your
599 EVT
\_MENU event handlers.
601 Note that menu commands (and UI update events for menus) are first sent to
602 the focus window within the frame. If no window within the frame has the focus,
603 then the events are sent directly to the frame. This allows command and UI update
604 handling to be processed by specific windows and controls, and not necessarily
605 by the application frame.
607 {\bf Tip:
} under Windows, if you discover that menu shortcuts (for example, Alt-F to show the file menu)
608 are not working, check any EVT
\_CHAR events you are handling in child windows.
609 If you are not calling
{\tt event.Skip()
} for events that you don't process in these event handlers,
610 menu shortcuts may cease to work.
