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.
+ Some platforms (currently wxGTK only, and see the remark in SetBitmap()
+ documentation) will also show standard bitmaps for stock menu items.

+ Leaving at least @a text empty for the stock menu items is actually strongly
recommended as they will have appearance and keyboard interface (including
standard accelerators) familiar to the user.
helpMenu->Append(wxID_ABOUT);
// use the stock label and the stock accelerator but not the stock help string:
- helpMenu->Append(wxID_ABOUT, wxEmptyString, "My custom help string");
+ helpMenu->Append(wxID_ABOUT, "", "My custom help string");
// use all stock properties except for the bitmap:
wxMenuItem *mymenu = new wxMenuItem(helpMenu, wxID_ABOUT);
@a checked is @true (default value) or SetBitmaps(wxNullBitmap, bmp)
otherwise.
+ Notice that GTK+ uses a global setting called @c gtk-menu-images to
+ determine if the images should be shown in the menus at all. If it is
+ off (which is the case in e.g. Gnome 2.28 by default), no images will
+ be shown, consistently with the native behaviour.
