Libui::Menu

Creates a menubar. Must be fully finished creating the menu before creating the App.

Order is important. To create a single Menu e.g. "File", create a Libui::Menu with the name "File". Each new Menu created will be added to the right of the most recently created menu.

Almost all of the Menu methods return MenuItems.

Example:

    Libui::Init();
    my Libui::Menu $file .= new("File");
    my Libui::MenuItem $open = $file.append-item("Open");
    my Libui::MenuItem $save = $file.append-item("Save");
    my Libui::MenuItem $quit = $file.append-quit-item;

    my Libui::Menu $edit .= new("Edit");
    my Libui::MenuItem $preferences = $edit.append-preferences-item;

    my Libui::Menu $help .= new("Help");
    my Libui::MenuItem $help-item = $help.append-item("Help");
    my Libui::MenuItem $about = $help.append-about-item;

    my Libui::App $app .= new("Application");
    ...

This will create:

• "File" menu with "Open", "Save", and "Quit" items

• "Edit" menu with a "Preferences" item

• "Help" menu with a "Help" item and an "About" item

Laid out in the menubar like this:

File Edit Help

Libui will move the "About", "Quit", and "Preferences" items to their proper spots on MacOS automatically.
