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. 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.
+ with a special identifier @e wxID_SEPARATOR is a separator item and doesn't
+ have an associated command but just makes a separator line appear in the
+ menu.
@note
Please note that @e wxID_ABOUT and @e 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 @e wxID_EXIT is disabled according to Palm OS Companion guidelines.
Menu items may be either @e normal items, @e check items or @e radio items.
Normal items don't have any special properties while the check items have a
@section menu_allocation Allocation strategy
- All menus except the popup ones must be created on the @b heap.
- All menus attached to a menubar or to another menu will be deleted by their
- parent when it is deleted.
+ All menus must be created on the @b heap because all menus attached to a
+ menubar or to another menu will be deleted by their parent when it is
+ deleted. The only exception to this rule are the popup menus (i.e. menus
+ used with wxWindow::PopupMenu()) as wxWidgets does not destroy them to
+ allow reusing the same menu more than once. But the exception applies only
+ to the menus themselves and not to any submenus of popup menus which are
+ still destroyed by wxWidgets as usual and so must be heap-allocated.
As the frame menubar is deleted by the frame itself, it means that normally
all menus used are deleted automatically.

- The item string for the normal menu items (not submenus or separators)
- may include the accelerator which can be used to activate the menu item
- from keyboard.

- Its general syntax is any combination of "CTRL", "ALT" and "SHIFT" strings
- (case doesn't matter) separated by either '-' or '+' characters and followed
- by the accelerator itself.
- The accelerator may be any alphanumeric character, any function key
- (from F1 to F12) or one of the special characters listed in the table
- below (again, case doesn't matter):
-
- - DEL or DELETE: Delete key
- - INS or INSERT: Insert key
