### 4.7 Menubar

The `<menubar></menubar>` defines menu bar which can be placed as any other screen elements. In the menubar widget you have to create menus with the `<menu></menu>` tag, and inside the menu must be at least one menu item created by the `<menuitem></menuitem>` tag.

The next example shows how to create a simple menubar with only one menu:

    <menubar>
      <menu>
        <menuitem>
          <label>gtk-open</label>
        </menuitem>
        <menuitem>
          <label>gtk-save</label>
        </menuitem>
        <menuitem>
          <label>gtk-quit</label>
          <action>EXIT="quit"</action>
        </menuitem>
        <label>File</label>
      </menu>
    </menubar>
