NAME

       wxMenuEvent - Functions for wxMenuEvent class

DESCRIPTION

       This  class  is  used  for  a variety of menu-related events. Note that these do not include menu command
       events, which are handled using wxCommandEvent objects.

       Events of this class are generated by both menus that are part of a wxMenuBar, attached to  wxFrame,  and
       popup  menus  shown  by  wxWindow:popupMenu/4.  They  are sent to the following objects until one of them
       handles the event: -# The menu object itself, as returned by GetMenu(), if any. -# The wxMenuBar to which
       this menu is attached, if any. -# The window associated with the menu, e.g. the one  calling  PopupMenu()
       for the popup menus. -# The top level parent of that window if it's different from the window itself.

       This  is  similar  to  command events generated by the menu items, but, unlike them, wxMenuEvent are only
       sent to the window itself and its top level parent but not any intermediate windows in the hierarchy.

       The default handler for wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT in wxFrame  displays  help  text  in  the  status  bar,  see
       wxFrame:setStatusBarPane/2.

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxEvent

EVENTS

       Use wxEvtHandler:connect/3 with wxMenuEventType to subscribe to events of this type.

DATA TYPES

       wxMenuEvent() = wx:wx_object()

       wxMenu() =
           #wxMenu{type = wxMenuEvent:wxMenuEventType(),
                   menuId = integer(),
                   menu = wxMenu:wxMenu()}

       wxMenuEventType() = menu_open | menu_close | menu_highlight

EXPORTS

       getMenu(This) -> wxMenu:wxMenu()

              Types:

                 This = wxMenuEvent()

              Returns the menu which is being opened or closed, or the menu containing the highlighted item.

              Note  that  the  returned  value can be NULL if the menu being opened doesn't have a corresponding
              wxMenu, e.g. this happens when opening the system menu in wxMSW port.

              Remark: Since 3.1.3 this function can be used with OPEN, CLOSE and HIGHLIGHT events. Before 3.1.3,
              this method can only be used with the OPEN and CLOSE events.

       getMenuId(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxMenuEvent()

              Returns the menu identifier associated with the event.

              This method should be only used with the HIGHLIGHT events.

       isPopup(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxMenuEvent()

              Returns true if the menu which is being opened or closed is a popup menu, false if it is a  normal
              one.

              This method should only be used with the OPEN and CLOSE events.
