The <menubar> tag creates a menubar that can be
placed within any view, but is most commonly found within a window.
By default, a menubar adjusts to the width of its parent unless
otherwise directed. Within a window a menubar has its own
placement="menubar" so that it lives above the contents
of the window.
<canvas debug="true" height="250">
<debug y="120"/>
<menubar width="200">
<menu text="Menu 1" width="100">
<menuitem text="Item 1" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
<menuitem text="Item 2" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
<menuitem text="Item 3" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
<menuseparator/>
<menuitem text="Item 4" onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
</menu>
<menu text="Menu 2" width="100">
<menuitem text="More items..." onselect="canvas.whichOne(this);"/>
</menu>
</menubar>
<method name="whichOne" args="vThis">
