A <a class="link" href="BMenuField.html" title="BMenuField"><code class="classname">BMenuField</code></a>
object displays a labeled pop-up menu. It's a simple object
that employs a <a class="link" href="BMenuBar.html" title="BMenuBar"><code class="classname">BMenuBar</code></a>
object to control a <a class="link" href="BMenu.html" title="BMenu"><code class="classname">BMenu</code></a>.
All it adds to what a
<a class="link" href="BMenuBar.html" title="BMenuBar"><code class="classname">BMenuBar</code></a>
can do on its own is a label and a more control-like user
interface that includes keyboard navigation.
</p><p>
The functions defined in this class resemble those of a
<a class="link" href="BControl.html" title="BControl"><code class="classname">BControl</code></a>
(<a class="link" href="BMenuField.html#BMenuField_SetLabel" title="SetLabel(), Label()"><code class="methodname">SetLabel()</code></a>,
<a class="link" href="BMenuField.html#BMenuField_IsEnabled"><code class="methodname">IsEnabled()</code></a>), especially a
BTextControl
(<a class="link" href="BMenuField.html#BMenuField_SetDivider" title="SetDivider(), Divider()"><code class="methodname">SetDivider()</code></a>,
<a class="link" href="BMenuField.html#BMenuField_Alignment"><code class="methodname">Alignment()</code></a>).
However, unlike a real
<a class="link" href="BControl.html" title="BControl"><code class="classname">BControl</code></a> object, a
<a class="link" href="BMenuField.html" title="BMenuField"><code class="classname">BMenuField</code></a>
doesn't maintain a current value and it can't be invoked to send a
message. All the control work is done by items in the
<a class="link" href="BMenu.html" title="BMenu"><code class="classname">BMenu</code></a>.
