+# menu-rs
+
+Cross-platform menu creation library.
+
+## Example
+
+Create the root menu and add submenus and men items.
+```rs
+let mut menu = Menu::new();
+
+let file_menu = menu.add_submenu("File", true);
+let open_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Open", true);
+let save_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Save", true);
+
+let edit_menu = menu.add_submenu("Edit", true);
+let copy_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Copy", true);
+let cut_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Cut", true);
+
+#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
+menu.init_for_hwnd(window.hwnd() as isize);
+#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
+menu.init_for_gtk_window(&gtk_window);
+```
+Then listen for the events
+```rs
+if let Ok(event) = menu_event_receiver().try_recv() {
+    match event.id {
+        _ if event.id == save_item.id() => {
+            println!("Save menu item activated");
+        },
+        _ => {}

+//! menu-rs is a cross-platform menu creation library.
+//!
+//! # Creating root menus
+//!
+//! Before you can add submenus and menu items, you first need a root or a base menu.
+//! ```no_run
+//! let mut menu = Menu::new();
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Adding submens to the root menu
+//!
+//! Once you have a root menu you can start adding [`Submenu`]s by using [`Menu::add_submenu`].
+//! ```no_run
+//! let mut menu = Menu::new();
+//! let file_menu = menu.add_submenu("File", true);
+//! let edit_menu = menu.add_submenu("Edit", true);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Aadding menu items and submenus within another submenu
+//!
+//! Once you have a [`Submenu`] you can star creating more [`Submenu`]s or [`TextMenuItem`]s.
+//! ```no_run
+//! let mut menu = Menu::new();
+//!
+//! let file_menu = menu.add_submenu("File", true);
+//! let open_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Open", true);
+//! let save_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Save", true);
+//!
+//! let edit_menu = menu.add_submenu("Edit", true);
+//! let copy_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Copy", true);
+//! let cut_item = file_menu.add_text_item("Cut", true);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Add your root menu to a Window (Windows and Linux Only)
+//!
+//! You can use [`Menu`] to display a top menu in a Window on Windows and Linux.
+//! ```no_run
+//! let mut menu = Menu::new();
+//! // --snip--
+//! #[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
+//! menu.init_for_hwnd(window.hwnd() as isize);
+//! #[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
+//! menu.init_for_gtk_window(&gtk_window);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Processing menu events
+//!
+//! You can use [`menu_event_receiver`] to get a reference to the [`MenuEventReceiver`]
+//! which you can use to listen to events when a menu item is activated
+//! ```no_run
+//! if let Ok(event) = menu_event_receiver().try_recv() {
+//!     match event.id {
+//!         _ if event.id == save_item.id() => {
+//!             println!("Save menu item activated");
+//!         },
+//!         _ => {}
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
