class

menu-bar% : class?

  superclass: object%

  extends: menu-item-container<%>
A menu-bar% object is created for a particular frame% object. A frame can have at most one menu bar; an exn:fail:contract exception is raised when a new menu bar is created for a frame that already has a menu bar.

constructor

(new menu-bar% 
    [parent parent] 
    [[demand-callback demand-callback]]) 
  (is-a?/c menu-bar%)
  parent : (or/c (is-a?/c frame%) 'root)
  demand-callback : ((is-a?/c menu-bar%) . -> . any)
   = (lambda (m) (void))
Creates a menu bar in the specified frame. The menu bar is initially empty. If 'root is supplied as parent, the menu bar becomes active only when no other frames are shown. A 'root parent is allowed only when current-eventspace-has-menu-root? returns #t, and only if no such menu bar has been created before, otherwise an exn:fail:contract exception is raised.

The demand-callback procedure is called by the default on-demand method with the object itself.

method

(send a-menu-bar enable enable?)  void?

  enable? : any/c
Enables or disables the menu bar (i.e., all of its menus). Each menu’s is-enabled? method returns #f only if the menu is specifically disabled (in addition to the menu bar).

method

(send a-menu-bar get-frame)  (or/c (is-a?/c frame%) 'root)

Returns the menu bar’s frame, or returns 'root if the menu bar is shown when no other frames are shown.

method

(send a-menu-bar is-enabled?)  boolean?

Returns #t if the menu bar is enabled, #f otherwise.
