styleData.index : int | The index of the menu item in its menu.
styleData.selected : bool | `true` if the menu item is selected.
styleData.open : bool | `true` when the pull down menu is open.
styleData.text : string | The menu bar item's text.
styleData.underlineMnemonic : bool | When `true`, the style should underline the menu item's label mnemonic.

menuStyle : Component

The style component for the menubar's own menus and their submenus.

See also MenuStyle.

## Method Documentation

string formatMnemonic(string text, bool underline = false)

Returns a formatted string to render mnemonics for a given menu item.

The mnemonic character is prefixed by an ampersand in the original string.

Passing `true` for `underline` will underline the mnemonic character (e.g., `formatMnemonic("&File", true)` will return `"<u>F</u>ile"`). Passing `false` for `underline` will return the plain text form (e.g., `formatMnemonic("&File", false)` will return `"File"`).
