GtkMenu
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
a drop down menu widget.
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
A #GtkMenu is a #GtkMenuShell that implements a drop down menu consisting of
a list of #GtkMenuItem objects which can be navigated and activated by the
user to perform application functions.
</para>
<para>
A #GtkMenu is most commonly dropped down by activating a #GtkMenuItem in a
#GtkMenuBar or popped up by activating a #GtkMenuItem in another #GtkMenu.
</para>
<para>
A #GtkMenu can also be popped up by activating a #GtkOptionMenu.
Other composite widgets such as the #GtkNotebook can pop up a #GtkMenu
as well.
</para>
<para>
Applications can display a #GtkMenu as a popup menu by calling the
gtk_menu_popup() function. The example below shows how an application
can pop up a menu when the 3rd mouse button is pressed.
</para>
<example>
<title>Connecting the popup signal handler.</title>
<programlisting>
/* connect our handler which will popup the menu */
g_signal_connect_swapped (window, "button_press_event",
G_CALLBACK (my_popup_handler), menu);
</programlisting>
