(wxEVT\_COMMAND\_MENU\_SELECTED).
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
-\item Define a callback of type wxFunction, which you pass to the wxMenu constructor.
-The callback takes a reference to the menu, 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
this window.
+\item Define a callback of type wxFunction, which you pass to the wxMenu constructor.
+The callback takes a reference to the menu, and a reference to a
+\helpref{wxCommandEvent}{wxcommandevent}. This method is deprecated and should
