# Class GTK1.Menu

Inheritance graph

Description

  A GTK1.Menu is a W(MenuShell) that implements a drop down menu consisting of a list of W(MenuItem) objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions.

  A GTK1.Menu is most commonly dropped down by activating a W(MenuItem) in a W(MenuBar) or popped up by activating a W(MenuItem) in another GTK1.Menu.

  A GTK1.Menu can also be popped up by activating a W(OptionMenu). Other composite widgets such as the W(Notebook) can pop up a GTK1.Menu as well.

  Applications can display a GTK1.Menu as a popup menu by calling the popup() function. The example below shows how an application can pop up a menu when the 3rd mouse button is pressed.

         GTK1.Menu menu = create_menu();
         GTK1.Window window = create_window();
         window->signal_connect( "button_press_event", lambda(GTK1.Menu m,
                                                              GTK1.Window w,
                                                              mapping e ) {
                   if( e->button == 3 )
                    menu->popup();
                }, menu );
