I finally got to a point where I think that wxFlatMenu can be released as beta version (under wxWindows license ofc):
- Why did I created it at the first place?
- Well, I am simply sick of the normal menus... I wanted something unique for my application not the regular stuff!
So what does it include:
Everything that regular menu bar has except (two known missing functionalities that will be completed ASAP):
- No tooltips over toolbar items
- No scrolling is available if the menu height is greater than the screen height
I added a toolbar support for the menu bar, so one can easily add a toolbar to the menubar (not floating toolbars, as I think this is useless)
Some nice features that it has:
- Allows user to specify grey bitmap
- If no grey bitmap is provided, it generate one from the existing bitmap
- Hidden toolbar items / menu bar items - will appear in a small popmenu to the right if they are hidden
- Embedded customize dialog (with new a Notebook control - wxLabelBook, which can be used separatly)
- 4 different colour schemes for the menu bar (more can easily added)
- highly consfigurable

Hope you enjoy it, and remember it is beta, so bugs will probably exists
(in fact they will always exist!)
