A BMenuItem either consists of a label or a submenu and message that is sent to the attached menu's target when the item is selected. BMenu and BMenuItem work in concert with each other in order to create a menu tree hierarchy. BMenuItem's serve as nodes in the tree while BMenu's serve as branches. \sa SetLabel() A menu item, unless it represents a submenu, can have a keyboard shortcut which is a printable character used in combination with the \key{Command} key and possibly other modifiers to invoke the item. The shortcut is displayed right of the item's label. \sa SetShortcut() A menu item may also have a trigger character assigned to it that invokes the item without using the \key{Command} key. The trigger characters is drawn underlined in the menu item's label. Unlike shortcuts, triggers are automatically assigned to a menu item. You can set the trigger character explicitly by calling SetTrigger(). \sa SetTrigger() \attention Triggers are currently disabled. Both the shortcut character and trigger character are case-insensitive. A menu item may be marked, which draws a checkmark on the left side of the item. only one menu items may be marked at a time if attached to a menu in radio mode. \sa SetMarked() \sa BMenu::SetRadioMode() Menu items can also be enabled or disabled. A disabled item's label is drawn in a lighter color to indicate that it may not be used. A disabled menu item may not be selected or invoked. If the menu item controls a submenu the submenu may still be opened but each of the items will be disabled. \sa SetEnabled() \since BeOS R3 */ /*! \fn BMenuItem::BMenuItem(const char* label, BMessage* message, char shortcut, uint32 modifiers) \brief Creates a new BMenuItem object with the specified \a label and \a message. \param label The text \a label that is displayed. \param message The BMessage that is sent when the item is selected. \param shortcut The \a shortcut characters to activate the menu item. \param modifiers The modifier keys to active the menu item, \c B_COMMAND_KEY is assumed. \since BeOS R3 */ /*! \fn BMenuItem::BMenuItem(BMenu* menu, BMessage* message) \brief Creates a new BMenuItem object with the specified \a menu and \a message.
