Constructs a wxMenuItem object.
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred way to create standard menu items is to use default value of
|
||||
\arg{text}. If no text is supplied and \arg{id} is one of standard IDs from
|
||||
\helpref{this list}{stockitems}, a standard label and a standard accelerator
|
||||
will be used. In addition to that, the button will be decorated with stock
|
||||
icons under GTK+ 2.
|
||||
Menu items can be standard, or ``stock menu items'', or custom. For the
|
||||
standard menu items (such as commands to open a file, exit the program and so
|
||||
on, see \helpref{stock items}{stockitems} for the full list) it is enough to
|
||||
specify just the stock ID and leave \arg{text} and \arg{helpString} empty. In
|
||||
fact, leaving at least \arg{text} empty for the stock menu items is strongly
|
||||
recommended as they will have appearance and keyboard interface (including
|
||||
standard accelerators) familiar to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
For the custom (non-stock) menu items, \arg{text} must be specified and while
|
||||
\arg{helpString} may be left empty, it's recommended to pass the item
|
||||
description (which is automatically shown by the library in the status bar when
|
||||
the menu item is selected) in this parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally note that you can e.g. use a stock menu label without using its stock
|
||||
help string:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
// use all stock properties:
|
||||
helpMenu->Append(wxID_ABOUT);
|
||||
|
||||
// use the stock label and the stock accelerator but not the stock help string:
|
||||
helpMenu->Append(wxID_ABOUT, wxEmptyString, wxT("My custom help string"));
|
||||
|
||||
// use all stock properties except for the bitmap:
|
||||
wxMenuItem *mymenu = new wxMenuItem(helpMenu, wxID_ABOUT);
|
||||
mymenu->SetBitmap(wxArtProvider::GetBitmap(wxART_WARNING));
|
||||
helpMenu->Append(mymenu);
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
that is, stock properties are set independently one from the other.
