\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.

Constructs a wxMenuItem object.
\docparam{helpString}{Optional help string that will be shown on the status bar.}
-\docparam{checkable}{TRUE if this menu item is checkable.}

+\constfunc{void}{SetBitmap}{\param{const wxBitmap\& }{bmp}}
