  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.

 372     @class wxMenu
 373
 374     A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
 375     selected before the menu goes away (clicking elsewhere dismisses the
 376     menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.
 377
 378     A menu item has an integer ID associated with it which can be used to
 379     identify the selection, or to change the menu item in some way. A menu item
 380     with a special identifier -1 is a separator item and doesn't have an
 381     associated command but just makes a separator line appear in the menu.
 382
 383     @note
 384     Please note that @e wxID_ABOUT and @e wxID_EXIT are predefined by wxWidgets
 385     and have a special meaning since entries using these IDs will be taken out
 386     of the normal menus under MacOS X and will be inserted into the system menu
 387     (following the appropriate MacOS X interface guideline).
 388     On PalmOS @e wxID_EXIT is disabled according to Palm OS Companion guidelines.
 389
 390     Menu items may be either normal items, check items or radio items.
 391     Normal items don't have any special properties while the check items have a
 392     boolean flag associated to them and they show a checkmark in the menu when
 393     the flag is set.
 394     wxWidgets automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its
 395     value may be retrieved using either wxMenu::IsChecked method of wxMenu or
 396     wxMenuBar itself or by using wxEvent::IsChecked when you get the menu
 397     notification for the item in question.
 398
 399     The radio items are similar to the check items except that all the other items
 400     in the same radio group are unchecked when a radio item is checked. The radio
 401     group is formed by a contiguous range of radio items, i.e. it starts at the
 402     first item of this kind and ends with the first item of a different kind (or
 403     the end of the menu). Notice that because the radio groups are defined in terms
 404     of the item positions inserting or removing the items in the menu containing
 405     the radio items risks to not work correctly. Finally note that radio items
 406     are not supported under Motif.
 407
 408
 409     @section menu_allocation Allocation strategy
 410
 411     All menus except the popup ones must be created on the heap.
 412     All menus attached to a menubar or to another menu will be deleted by their
 413     parent when it is deleted.
 414     As the frame menubar is deleted by the frame itself, it means that normally
 415     all menus used are deleted automatically.
 416
 417
 418     @section menu_eventhandling Event handling
 419
 420     If the menu is part of a menubar, then wxMenuBar event processing is used.
 421     With a popup menu, there is a variety of ways to handle a menu selection event
 422     (wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED).
 423     Derive a new class from wxMenu and define event table entries using the EVT_MENU macro.
 424     Set a new event handler for wxMenu, using an object whose class has EVT_MENU entries.
 425     Provide EVT_MENU handlers in the window which pops up the menu, or in an
 426     ancestor of this window.

 473             The menu command identifier.
 474         @param item
 475             The string to appear on the menu item.
 476         @param helpString
 477             An optional help string associated with the item.
 478             By default, the handler for the wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT event displays
 479             this string in the status line.
 480         @param kind
 481             May be wxITEM_SEPARATOR, wxITEM_NORMAL, wxITEM_CHECK or wxITEM_RADIO
 482
 483         @remarks
 484         This command can be used after the menu has been shown, as well as on
 485         initial creation of a menu or menubar.
 486
 487         The item string for the normal menu items (not submenus or separators)
 488         may include the accelerator which can be used to activate the menu item
 489         from keyboard.
 490         The accelerator string follows the item label and is separated from it
 491         by a TAB character ('\\t').
 492
 493         Its general syntax is any combination of "CTRL", "ALT" and "SHIFT" strings
 494         (case doesn't matter) separated by either '-' or '+' characters and followed
 495         by the accelerator itself.
 496         The accelerator may be any alphanumeric character, any function key
 497         (from F1 to F12) or one of the special characters listed in the table
 498         below (again, case doesn't matter):
 499
 500         - DEL or DELETE: Delete key
 501         - INS or INSERT: Insert key
 502         - ENTER or RETURN: Enter key
 503         - PGUP: PageUp key
 504         - PGDN: PageDown key
 505         - LEFT: Left cursor arrow key
 506         - RIGHT: Right cursor arrow key
 507         - UP: Up cursor arrow key
 508         - DOWN: Down cursor arrow key
 509         - HOME: Home key
 510         - END: End key
 511         - SPACE: Space
 512         - TAB: Tab key
 513         - ESC: or ESCAPE Escape key (Windows only)
