Detailed Description

VSG extension Abstract class for all menu item nodes.

SoMenuItem is the abstract class for all menu item nodes. Menu item nodes are added in an SoMenuPopup.

For all of the derived classes, it is possible to define a mnemonic character and an accelerator key combination. (Note: SoMenuPopup cannot have an accelerator key combination). The mnemonic character, if any, is underlined in the label string. The purpose of menu accelerators is to allow the user to activate a menu item without opening any menus. Instead, the user can do it by using keyboard shortcuts. These key sequences are aligned on the right of the menu items.

To define a mnemonic and an accelerator, simply define the label field as follows:

The following examples show how accelerators must be formatted:

       *  "&Open\\tCtrl+O"      
       *  "&Save\\tCtrl+S"
       *  "&Save As...\\tCtrl+Alt+S"
       *  "New\\tF12"
       *  ...
