The MenuPane is a container which allows children to be created and destroyed and positioned vertically in a single column.

The MenuPane controls the highlighting and user-interaction within the component, rather than each component having individual control.

A MenuPane can be parented to a MenuBar, in which case the MenuPane will be displayed when the appropriate MenuBar item is selected.

Also, a MenuPane may also be the child of a CascadeButton, in which case it is displayed when the CascadeButton is activated.

In addition, a MenuPane may be used as a popup menu from within any component, in which case it is displayed when the user presses the right mouse button within the component.
