Module: WidgetWrapper::Menus::MenuBar

Defined in:
lib/wx_wrapper/menu.rb

Overview

Menu bar syntax (This code follows after a frame block):

menu_bar.menu "&File" do |item|
  item.add :new
  item.add :open
  item.separator
  item.add :save
  item.separator
  item.add :quit
end

menu_bar.menu "&Edit" do |item|
  item.add :undo
  item.add :redo
end

The & in the menu title (ie &File) is used underlined and used as a shortcut for referencing alt command navigation for windows. You can move the ampersand in front of a different letter if you would like another letter to be the shortcut for alt keys. (As of yet, I don’t know how this works in OS X if it has any effect at all).
