# cocos.menu module

A Layer that implements a simple menu

## Menu

This module provides a Menu class. Menus can contain regular items (which trigger a function when selected), toggle items (which toggle a flag when selected), or entry items (which lets you enter alphanumeric data).

To use a menu in your code, just subclass Menu and add the menu to an Scene or another Layer.

class `Menu`(title=u'')

  Bases: `cocos.layer.base_layers.Layer`

  Abstract base class for menu layers.

  Normal usage is:

  > - create a subclass
  > - override __init__ to set all style attributes, and then call create_menu()
  > - Finally you shall add the menu to an Scene or another Layer

  `create_menu`(items, selected_effect=None, unselected_effect=None, activated_effect=None, layout_strategy=<function verticalMenuLayout at 0x058D62B0>)

    Creates the menu

    The order of the list important since the first one will be shown first.

    Example:

        l = []
        l.append( MenuItem('Options', self.on_new_game ) )
        l.append( MenuItem('Quit', self.on_quit ) )
        self.create_menu( l, zoom_in(), zoom_out() )

    Parameters: | items : list list of BaseMenuItem that will be part of the Menu selected_effect : function This action will be executed when the BaseMenuItem is selected unselected_effect : function This action will be executed when the BaseMenuItem is unselected activated_effect : function this action will executed when the BaseMenuItem is activated (pressing Enter or by clicking on it)
