ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO(3)                                      ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO(3)

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(3) and al_insert_menu_item(3).
