@class wxMenuItem
@wxheader{menuitem.h}
A menu item represents an item in a menu. Note that you usually don't have to
deal with it directly as wxMenu methods usually construct an
object of this class for you.
Also please note that the methods related to fonts and bitmaps are currently
only implemented for Windows and GTK+.

class wxMenuItem : public wxObject
{
public:
/**
Constructs a wxMenuItem object.
Menu items can be standard, or "stock menu items'', or custom. For the
standard menu items (such as commands to open a file, exit the program and so
on, see @ref overview_stockitems "stock items" for the full list) it is enough
to
specify just the stock ID and leave @a text and @a helpString empty. In
fact, leaving at least @a text empty for the stock menu items is strongly
recommended as they will have appearance and keyboard interface (including
standard accelerators) familiar to the user.
For the custom (non-stock) menu items, @a text must be specified and while
@a helpString may be left empty, it's recommended to pass the item
description (which is automatically shown by the library in the status bar when
the menu item is selected) in this parameter.
Finally note that you can e.g. use a stock menu label without using its stock
help string:
that is, stock properties are set independently one from the other.
@param parentMenu
Menu that the menu item belongs to.
@param id
Identifier for this menu item, or wxID_SEPARATOR to indicate a separator.
@param text
Text for the menu item, as shown on the menu. An accelerator
key can be specified using the ampersand '' character. In order to embed an
ampersand character in the menu item text, the ampersand must be doubled.
@param helpString
Optional help string that will be shown on the status bar.
@param kind
May be wxITEM_SEPARATOR, wxITEM_NORMAL,
wxITEM_CHECK or wxITEM_RADIO
@param subMenu
If non-@NULL, indicates that the menu item is a submenu.
