Hi,
Main reason why Win32::GUI::MenuItem isn't passed to NEM handler, it's
because this object it's not stored anywhere when using
AddMenuButton/AddMenuItem (memory managment reason).
When you use Win32::GUI::MakeMenu, a perl tree representation of your
menu it's create and store in your Win32::GUI::Menu object. But, we can't
retreive this tree from event handling.
Win32::GUI::Window is pass as parameter because generaly a menu interact
with it's associate window.
We can add menu name as second parameter if exist easily but not more.
Laurent.
