Hi, I am a newbie to xwPython. I am using version 2.4 on Red Hat

documentation thatAlso please note that the methods related to fonts and
bitmaps are currently only implemented for Windows and
Does this mean I can't alter look of the wxMenu text or its items?
Since we are using native menu widgets then you can alter things only if
the platform supports it. The way to customize the attributes of a menu
item is to actually create the menu item first and then add it to the
menu. Like this:
item = wx.MenuItem(menu, ID ,"Label")
item.SetBitmap(...)
item.SetFont(...)
menu.AppendItem(item)
If the platform doesn't support some attribute (or support hasn't been
added to the wxWidgets layer yet) then it will just be ignored.

Thanks, Robin,
I guess my system doesn't support it. It allows me to create the item:
item = wx.MenuItem(menu, ID ,"Label")
but
item.SetFont(...)
gives AttributeError: 'MenuItem' object has no attribute 'SetFont'
Also:
menu.AppendItem(item)
says Append takes at least 3 arguments, two given.
