RE: [Boa Constr] Building menu bar

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

What you are seeing in the first line of the menu is the menu title. To get
rid of it, set the title property to an empty string ("") instead of "File".

Perhaps the Boa tutorial should be changed, since most people will not want
titles on their menus (I would think). At least not under Windows. I'm not
sure about the Gnome and KDE standards but this behavior still strikes me as
a bit odd. Is this a boa thing or a wxWindows thing? Should the title
property be left blank (which in effect renders it useless) or should
something else be changed? Or do I need a clue? Hold on while I RTFM...

---
wxMenu::SetTitle
void SetTitle(const wxString& title)
Sets the title of the menu.

Parameters
title
The title to set.

Remarks
This is relevant only to popup menus.

That last line seems like a big clue - the title only applies to popup menus
(though apparently it shows up on regular menus if you do set it). Hmmm...
So is this a bug or should we not set the title for normal menus?

Subject: [Boa Constr] Building menu bar

Hi,

Let's add one wxMenu to a wxFrame... let's set the title to "File"
and add two menu items "Open" and "Exit"

Let's now add a wxMenuBar, edit its Menus collection and add the
"File" wxMenu to the menu bar.

When I start the application menu looks like:
File
File
----
Open
Exit


instead of:
File
Open
Exit


This also happens with the example from Boa tutorial.
