Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class
Creates a new GtkMenu.
Creates and append a submenu to this menu. This menu item that actualy has the sub menu is also created.
Adds a new GtkMenuItem to a (table) menu. The number of 'cells' that an item will occupy is specified by left_attach, right_attach, top_attach and bottom_attach. These each represent the leftmost, rightmost, uppermost and lower column and row numbers of the table. (Columns and rows are indexed from zero). Note that this function is not related to gtk_menu_detach(). Since 2.4
Attaches the menu to the widget and provides a callback function that will be invoked when the menu calls gtk_menu_detach() during its destruction.
Detaches the menu from the widget to which it had been attached. This function will call the callback function, detacher, provided when the gtk_menu_attach_to_widget() function was called.
Gets the GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. See gtk_menu_set_accel_group(). Gets the GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. See gtk_menu_set_accel_group().
Retrieves the accelerator path set on the menu. Since 2.14
Returns the selected menu item from the menu. This is used by the GtkOptionMenu. Returns the selected menu item from the menu. This is used by the GtkOptionMenu.
Returns the GtkWidget that the menu is attached to. Returns the GtkWidget that the menu is attached to.
Retrieves the number of the monitor on which to show the menu. Since 2.14
Returns whether the menu reserves space for toggles and icons, regardless of their actual presence. Since 2.18
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Returns whether the menu is torn off. See gtk_menu_set_tearoff_state().
Returns the title of the menu. See gtk_menu_set_title().
Removes the menu from the screen.
Popups up this menu
Displays a menu and makes it available for selection. Applications can use this function to display context-sensitive menus, and will typically supply NULL for the parent_menu_shell, parent_menu_item, func and data parameters. The default menu positioning function will position the menu at the current mouse cursor position. The button parameter should be the mouse button pressed to initiate the menu popup. If the menu popup was initiated by something other than a mouse button press, such as a mouse button release or a keypress, button should be 0. The activate_time parameter is used to conflict-resolve initiation of concurrent requests for mouse/keyboard grab requests. To function properly, this needs to be the time stamp of the user event (such as a mouse click or key press) that caused the initiation of the popup. Only if no such event is available, gtk_get_current_event_time() can be used instead.
Moves a GtkMenuItem to a new position within the GtkMenu.
Repositions the menu according to its position function.
Set the GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. This accelerator group needs to also be added to all windows that this menu is being used in with gtk_window_add_accel_group(), in order for those windows to support all the accelerators contained in this group.
Sets an accelerator path for this menu from which accelerator paths for its immediate children, its menu items, can be constructed. The main purpose of this function is to spare the programmer the inconvenience of having to call gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() on each menu item that should support runtime user changable accelerators. Instead, by just calling gtk_menu_set_accel_path() on their parent, each menu item of this menu, that contains a label describing its purpose, automatically gets an accel path assigned. For example, a menu containing menu items "New" and "Exit", will, after gtk_menu_set_accel_path (menu, "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File");
Selects the specified menu item within the menu. This is used by the GtkOptionMenu and should not be used by anyone else.
Informs GTK+ on which monitor a menu should be popped up. See gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry(). This function should be called from a GtkMenuPositionFunc if the menu should not appear on the same monitor as the pointer. This information can't be reliably inferred from the coordinates returned by a GtkMenuPositionFunc, since, for very long menus, these coordinates may extend beyond the monitor boundaries or even the screen boundaries. Since 2.4
Sets whether the menu should reserve space for drawing toggles or icons, regardless of their actual presence. Since 2.18
Sets the GdkScreen on which the menu will be displayed. Since 2.2
Changes the tearoff state of the menu. A menu is normally displayed as drop down menu which persists as long as the menu is active. It can also be displayed as a tearoff menu which persists until it is closed or reattached.
Sets the title string for the menu. The title is displayed when the menu is shown as a tearoff menu. If title is NULL, the menu will see if it is attached to a parent menu item, and if so it will try to use the same text as that menu item's label.
Returns a list of the menus which are attached to this widget. This list is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified. Since 2.6

An action signal that activates the current menu item within the menu shell.
An action signal which cancels the selection within the menu shell. Causes the GtkMenuShell::selection-done signal to be emitted.
This signal is emitted when a menu shell is deactivated.
An action signal which moves the current menu item in the direction specified by direction.
The ::move-selected signal is emitted to move the selection to another item. TRUE to stop the signal emission, FALSE to continue Since 2.12
This signal is emitted when a selection has been completed within a menu shell.
Adds a new GtkMenuItem to the end of the menu shell's item list.
Adds a new GtkMenuItem to the beginning of the menu shell's item list.
Adds a new GtkMenuItem to the menu shell's item list at the position indicated by position.
Deactivates the menu shell. Typically this results in the menu shell being erased from the screen.
Selects the menu item from the menu shell.
Select the first visible or selectable child of the menu shell; don't select tearoff items unless the only item is a tearoff item. Since 2.2
Deselects the currently selected item from the menu shell, if any.
Activates the menu item within the menu shell.
Cancels the selection within the menu shell. Since 2.4
If take_focus is TRUE (the default) the menu shell will take the keyboard focus so that it will receive all keyboard events which is needed to enable keyboard navigation in menus. Setting take_focus to FALSE is useful only for special applications like virtual keyboard implementations which should not take keyboard focus. The take_focus state of a menu or menu bar is automatically propagated to submenus whenever a submenu is popped up, so you don't have to worry about recursively setting it for your entire menu hierarchy. Only when programmatically picking a submenu and popping it up manually, the take_focus property of the submenu needs to be set explicitely. Since 2.8
Returns TRUE if the menu shell will take the keyboard focus on popup. Since 2.8
Description A GtkMenu is a GtkMenuShell that implements a drop down menu consisting of a list of GtkMenuItem objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions. A GtkMenu is most commonly dropped down by activating a GtkMenuItem in a GtkMenuBar or popped up by activating a GtkMenuItem in another GtkMenu. A GtkMenu can also be popped up by activating a GtkOptionMenu. Other composite widgets such as the GtkNotebook can pop up a GtkMenu as well. Applications can display a GtkMenu as a popup menu by calling the gtk_menu_popup() function. The example below shows how an application can pop up a menu when the 3rd mouse button is pressed.
