NAME

       ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

              typedef struct ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO {

DESCRIPTION

       A  structure  that defines how to create a complete menu system.  For standard menu items,
       the following format is used:

                 { caption, id, flags, icon }

       For special items, these macros are helpful:

              ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU(caption, id)
              ALLEGRO_MENU_SEPARATOR
              ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU

       A well-defined menu will begin with ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU, contain one or more menu items,
       and end with ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU.  A menu may contain sub-menus.  An example:

              ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO menu_info[] = {
                 ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU("&File", 1),
                    { "&Open", 2, 0, NULL },
                    ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU("Open &Recent...", 3),
                       { "Recent 1", 4, 0, NULL },
                       { "Recent 2", 5, 0, NULL },
                       ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU,
                    ALLEGRO_MENU_SEPARATOR,
                    { "E&xit", 6, 0, NULL },
                    ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU,
                 ALLEGRO_START_OF_MENU("&Help", 7),
                    {"&About", 8, 0, NULL },
                    ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU,
                 ALLEGRO_END_OF_MENU
              };

              ALLEGRO_MENU *menu = al_build_menu(menu_info);

       If   you   prefer,   you   can   build   the   menu   without   the   structure  by  using
       al_create_menu(3alleg5) and al_insert_menu_item(3alleg5).
