\section{\class{wxMenu}}\label{wxmenu}
A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
selected before the menu goes away (clicking elsewhere dismisses the
-menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.
+menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.
A menu item has an integer ID associated with it which can be used to
-identify the selection, or to change the menu item in some way.
+identify the selection, or to change the menu item in some way. A menu item
+with a special identifier $-1$ is a separator item and doesn't have an
+associated command but just makes a separator line appear in the menu.
+
+{\bf NB:} Please note that {\it wxID\_ABOUT} and {\it wxID\_EXIT} are
+predefined by wxWidgets and have a special meaning since entries
+using these IDs will be taken out of the normal menus under MacOS X
+and will be inserted into the system menu (following the appropriate
+MacOS X interface guideline). On PalmOS {\it wxID\_EXIT} is disabled according
+to Palm OS Companion guidelines.
+
+Menu items may be either normal items, check items or radio items. Normal items
+don't have any special properties while the check items have a boolean flag
+associated to them and they show a checkmark in the menu when the flag is set.
+wxWidgets automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its
+value may be retrieved using either \helpref{IsChecked}{wxmenuischecked} method
+of wxMenu or wxMenuBar itself or by using
+\helpref{wxEvent::IsChecked}{wxcommandeventischecked} when you get the menu
+notification for the item in question.
+
+The radio items are similar to the check items except that all the other items
+in the same radio group are unchecked when a radio item is checked. The radio
+group is formed by a contiguous range of radio items, i.e. it starts at the
+first item of this kind and ends with the first item of a different kind (or
+the end of the menu). Notice that because the radio groups are defined in terms
+of the item positions inserting or removing the items in the menu containing
+the radio items risks to not work correctly. Finally note that radio items
+are not supported under Motif.
+
+\wxheading{Allocation strategy}
+
+All menus except the popup ones must be created on the heap. All menus
+attached to a menubar or to another menu will be deleted by their parent when
+it is deleted. As the frame menubar is deleted by the frame itself, it means
+that normally all menus used are deleted automatically.

\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
-\item Define a callback of type wxFunction, which you pass to the wxMenu constructor.
-The callback takes a reference to a window, and a reference to a \helpref{wxCommandEvent}{wxcommandevent}.
\item Derive a new class from wxMenu and define event table entries using the EVT\_MENU macro.
\item Set a new event handler for wxMenu, using an object whose class has EVT\_MENU entries.
\item Provide EVT\_MENU handlers in the window which pops up the menu, or in an ancestor of

+as your EVT\_MENU entries, events from the toolbar will also be processed by your
+EVT\_MENU event handlers.
+
+{\bf Tip:} under Windows, if you discover that menu shortcuts (for example, Alt-F to show the file menu)
+are not working, check any EVT\_CHAR events you are handling in child windows.
+If you are not calling {\tt event.Skip()} for events that you don't process in these event handlers,
