\section{\class{wxMenu}}\label{wxmenu}
A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
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.
-wxWindows automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its
+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
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 the radio items
