\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
this window.

To respond to a menu selection, provide a handler for EVT\_MENU, in the frame

+that contains the menu bar. If you have a toolbar which uses the same identifiers
+as your EVT\_MENU entries, events from the toolbar will also be processed by your
+EVT\_MENU event handlers.
+
+Note that menu commands (and UI update events for menus) are first sent to
+the focus window within the frame. If no window within the frame has the focus,
+then the events are sent directly to the frame. This allows command and UI update
+handling to be processed by specific windows and controls, and not necessarily
+by the application frame.
+
+{\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,
+menu shortcuts may cease to work.
