## Detailed Description

MenuBarItem presents a Menu within a MenuBar. The respective drop-down menu is shown when a MenuBarItem is triggered via keyboard, mouse, or touch.

MenuBarItem is used as a default delegate type for MenuBar. Notice that it is not necessary to declare MenuBarItem instances by hand when using MenuBar. It is sufficient to declare Menu instances as children of the MenuBar and the respective items are created automatically.
