Menus
This section summarizes the four menu types:
Application menu
Command menu
View menu
Submenu
The three menu types are structured like the widgets in the previous section. Each entry includes a brief description, repeating some of the information from Chapter 4, followed by an enumeration of the widget’s attribute and model properties, as well as relevant events. Unlike the other menu types, Submenu is accessed through a direct API, so the format for this entry will be structured as an API entry.
AppMenu
The Application menu appears in the upper-left corner of the screen when the user taps the left side of the status bar. It includes some system-defined and some application-defined actions, and is intended to have an application-wide scope for the most part.
