12. USER INTERFACE COMMANDS
12.1. add_menu_item()
add_menu_item(,,)
Create a menu entry

The variable of the UI menu

The text of the menu entry

The value of the menu entry
Remarks
• You can create menu entries only in the init callback but you can change their text and value
afterwards by using 
set_menu_item_str()
and 
set_menu_item_value()
. You can add
as many menu entries as you want and then show or hide them dynamically by using
set_menu_item_visibility()
.
• Using the 
$CONTROL_PAR_VALUE
constant in the 
get_control_par()
command will return
the menu index and not the value. If you want to get the menu value, use the
get_menu_item_value()
command.
Examples
on init
declare ui_menu $menu
add_menu_item ($menu, "First Entry",0)
add_menu_item ($menu, "Second Entry",1)
add_menu_item ($menu, "Third Entry",2)
end on
