Menubars are like lists but instead of being vertical, they are horizontal. Imagine you are creating a Operating System and you would like to add a taskbar, menubars would be exactly what you need, because they are also scrollable, which means they have endless entry possibility.
If you want to access values inside items this is how the table for single items is made (just a example):
```lua
item = {
text="1. Entry",
bgCol=colors.black,
fgCol=colors.white
args = {}
}
```
Remember menubar inherits from [Object](objects/Object.md)
## addItem
Adds a item into the menubar
#### Parameters:
1. `string` The entry name
2. `number|color` unique default background color - optional
3. `number|color` unique default text color - optional
4. `any` any value - you could access this later in a :onChange() event (you need to use :getValue()) - optional
#### Returns:
1. `object` The object in use
#### Usage:
* Creates a default menubar with 3 entries
```lua
local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local aMenubar = mainFrame:addMenubar()
aMenubar:addItem("1. Entry")
aMenubar:addItem("2. Entry",colors.yellow)
aMenubar:addItem("3. Entry",colors.yellow,colors.green)
```
```xml
<menubar>
<item><text>1. Entry</text></item>
