\section{\class{wxMenuItem}}\label{wxmenuitem}
-A menu item represents an item in a popup menu. Note that the majority of this
-class is only implemented under Windows so far, but everything except fonts, colours and
-bitmaps can be achieved via wxMenu on all platforms.
+A menu item represents an item in a menu. Note that you usually don't have to
+deal with it directly as \helpref{wxMenu}{wxmenu} methods usually construct an
+object of this class for you.
+
+Also please note that the methods related to fonts and bitmaps are currently
+only implemented for Windows.

-\constfunc{wxBitmap\&}{GetBitmap}{\param{bool}{ checked = TRUE}}
+\constfunc{wxBitmap\&}{GetBitmap}{\param{bool}{ checked = true}}
Returns the checked or unchecked bitmap (Windows only).
Returns the menu item identifier.
+\membersection{wxMenuItem::GetKind}\label{wxmenuitemgetkind}
+
+\constfunc{wxItemKind}{GetKind}{\void}
+
+Returns the item kind, one of {\tt wxITEM\_SEPARATOR}, {\tt wxITEM\_NORMAL},

+\func{static wxString}{GetLabelFromText}{\param{const wxString\& }{text}}
+
+Strips all accelerator characters and mnemonics from the given {\it text}.
+For example,
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText("&Hello\tCtrl-H");
