6.2 Menus

A menu is a list of choices from which a user makes a selection, typically to cause an action to occur immediately. The MWAPI defines two types of menus: a menu bar which typically displays choices horizontally and appears at the top of a window or display; and a pop-up menu which typically displays choices vertically. A pop-up menu can appear descendant from a menu bar or somewhere else in the window, completely independent of the menu bar.

The ssvn ^$WINDOW contains information about the menus accessible to a process, in the form

^$W[INDOW] ( wname , mkeyword , mname , elattribute )

mname is the identifier for a menu and wname is the identifier for the window that is the parent of that menu.
