/**
@class wxMenuBar
A menu bar is a series of menus accessible from the top of a frame.
@remarks
To respond to a menu selection, provide a handler for EVT_MENU, in the frame
that contains the menu bar.
If you have a toolbar which uses the same identifiers as your EVT_MENU entries,
events from the toolbar will also be processed by your EVT_MENU event handlers.
Tip: under Windows, if you discover that menu shortcuts (for example, Alt-F
to show the file menu) are not working, check any EVT_CHAR events you are
handling in child windows.
If you are not calling event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
these event handlers, menu shortcuts may cease to work.

/**
@class wxMenu
A menu is a popup (or pull down) list of items, one of which may be
selected before the menu goes away (clicking elsewhere dismisses the
menu). Menus may be used to construct either menu bars or popup menus.
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.
@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
boolean flag associated to them and they show a checkmark in the menu when
the flag is set.
wxWidgets automatically toggles the flag value when the item is clicked and its
value may be retrieved using either wxMenu::IsChecked method of wxMenu or
wxMenuBar itself or by using wxEvent::IsChecked when you get the menu
notification for the item in question.
The radio items are similar to the check items except that all the other items
in the same radio group are unchecked when a radio item is checked. The radio
group is formed by a contiguous range of radio items, i.e. it starts at the
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.
@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.
As the frame menubar is deleted by the frame itself, it means that normally
all menus used are deleted automatically.
@section menu_eventhandling Event handling
If the menu is part of a menubar, then wxMenuBar event processing is used.
With a popup menu (see wxWindow::PopupMenu), there is a variety of ways to
handle a menu selection event (@c wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED):
- Provide @c EVT_MENU handlers in the window which pops up the menu, or in an
ancestor of that window (the simplest method);
- Derive a new class from wxMenu and define event table entries using the @c EVT_MENU macro;
- Set a new event handler for wxMenu, through wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler,
specifying an object whose class has @c EVT_MENU entries;
Note that instead of static @c EVT_MENU macros you can also use dynamic
connection; see @ref overview_events_bind.

Adds a menu item.

@param kind
May be wxITEM_SEPARATOR, wxITEM_NORMAL, wxITEM_CHECK or wxITEM_RADIO
@remarks
This command can be used after the menu has been shown, as well as on
initial creation of a menu or menubar.
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.
The accelerator string follows the item label and is separated from it
by a TAB character ('\\t').
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
- ENTER or RETURN: Enter key
- PGUP: PageUp key
- PGDN: PageDown key
- LEFT: Left cursor arrow key
- RIGHT: Right cursor arrow key
- UP: Up cursor arrow key
- DOWN: Down cursor arrow key
- HOME: Home key
- END: End key
- SPACE: Space
- TAB: Tab key
- ESC: or ESCAPE Escape key (Windows only)
