### Usage

A Menu is a group of buttons been subject to certain rules of presentation and operation. Each item of the Menu is a Button and behaves like such. It is what explains the similarity of the syntax of the addButtons method that creates a group of buttons and addMenu method that creates a Menu.

There are two kinds of menus: The pop-up Menus that correspond to the usual menus of the graphic interfaces and the tree Menu that correspond to tree structures.

The type of Menu created will depend on the setIsTree() property of the Style of the Menu:

var menuStyle = new MenuStyle()
menuStyle.setIsTree(false)
var menu = dFrame.addMenu(menuArrayDefinitions, menuStyle)

create a pop-up Menu.
