Menus
Using menus requires you to create at least three objects: wxMenuBar, wxMenu and wxMenuItem.

The wxMenuBar is child to the wxFrame of your application. The wxMenuBar can have multiple wxMenu children, and each wxMenu can have multiple wxMenuItem children.

Menu Events
When setting a wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED event, you should pass the pointer to the wxMenu parent of the wxMenuItem.

Use of the { wxFrame, wxMenu } parameter is deprecated, and should not be used on any platform.
