Menu

A customizable pop-up menu that appears in response to user actions, such as clicking a button. It provides a list of options or actions for users to choose from, typically displayed as a drop-down menu. Developers can populate a menu with various menu items, submenus and separators to create a hierarchy of actions or choices. Menu is commonly used with other widgets, like buttons or toolbars or the system tray, to offer users a set of actions or options in a neatly organized menu format, improving the usability and functionality of the application.
