<summary>A <see cref="T:Gtk.Menu" /> is a <see cref="T:Gtk.MenuShell" /> that implements a drop down menu.</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
A <see cref="T:Gtk.Menu" /> is a <see cref="T:Gtk.MenuShell" /> that implements a drop down menu consisting of a list of <see cref="T:Gtk.MenuItem" /> objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions.
</para>
<para>
It is commonly dropped down by activating a <see cref="T:Gtk.MenuItem" /> in a <see cref="T:Gtk.MenuBar" /> or in another <see cref="T:Gtk.Menu" />, it can also be popped up by activating a <see cref="T:Gtk.OptionMenu" />. Other composite widgets such as the <see cref="T:Gtk.Notebook" /> can pop up a <see cref="T:Gtk.Menu" /> as well.
</para>
<example>
<code lang="C#">
using System;
using Gtk;
public class MenuApp
{
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
Application.Init();
Window win = new Window ("Menu Sample App");
win.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler (delete_cb);
win.SetDefaultSize (200, 150);
VBox box = new VBox (false, 2);
MenuBar mb = new MenuBar ();

<summary>Displays a menu and makes it available for selection.</summary>
<param name="parent_menu_shell">The menu shell containing the triggering menu item, or <see langword="null" />.</param>
<param name="parent_menu_item">The menu item whose activation triggered the popup, or <see langword="null" />.</param>

<param name="activate_time">The time at which the activation event occurred.</param>
<remarks>
<para>
Applications can use this function to display context-sensitive menus, and will typically supply <see langword="null" /> for the <paramref name="parent_menu_shell" />, <paramref name="parent_menu_item" />, and <paramref name="func" /> parameters. The default menu positioning function will position the menu at the current mouse cursor position.
</para>
<para>
The <paramref name="button" /> parameter should be the mouse button pressed to initiate the menu popup. If the menu popup was initiated by something other than a mouse button press, such as a mouse button release or a keypress, button should be zero(0).
</para>
<para>
The <paramref name="activate_time" /> parameter should be the time stamp of the event that initiated the popup. If such an event is not available, use <see cref="P:Gtk.Global.CurrentEventTime" /> instead.
</para>

<remarks>
<para>
The main purpose of this function is to spare the programmer the inconvenience of having to call <see cref="P:Gtk.MenuItem.AccelPath" /> on each menu item that should support runtime user changable accelerators. Instead, by just calling <see cref="P:Gtk.MenuItem.AccelPath" /> on their parent, each menu item of this menu, that contains a label describing its purpose, automatically gets an accel path assigned.
