<menubar>

A menubar that contains menus.

JavaScript: menubar

Extends Basecomponent

The <menubar> tag creates a menubar that can be placed within any view, but is most commonly found within a window. By default, a menubar adjusts to the width of its parent unless otherwise directed. Within a window a menubar has its own placement="menubar" so that it lives above the contents of the window.

Example 1. Simple menubar

<canvas debug="true" height="250">
  <debug y="120"/>
  <menubar width="200" >
    <menu text="Menu 1" width="100">
      <menuitem text="Item 1" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
      <menuitem text="Item 2" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
      <menuitem text="Item 3" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
      <menuseparator/>           
      <menuitem text="Item 4" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>   
    </menu> 
    <menu text="Menu 2" width="100">
      <menuitem text="More items..." onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>  
    </menu>
  </menubar>
  
  <method name="whichOne" args="vThis">
    Debug.write(vThis.parent.owner.text + " - "+ vThis.text);
  </method>
</canvas>
