wx.MenuEvent¶

This class is used for a variety of menu-related events.

Note that these do not include menu command events, which are handled using wx.CommandEvent objects.

The default handler for wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT displays help text in the first field of the status bar.

Events Emitted by this Class¶

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.MenuEvent parameter.

EVT_MENU_OPEN: A menu is about to be opened. On Windows, this is only sent once for each navigation of the menubar (up until all menus have closed).
EVT_MENU_CLOSE: A menu has been just closed. Notice that this event is currently being sent before the menu selection ( wxEVT_MENU ) event, if any.
EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT: The menu item with the specified id has been highlighted: used to show help prompts in the status bar by wx.Frame
EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT_ALL: A menu item has been highlighted, i.e. the currently selected menu item has changed.
