Hi,
I started working on UI bits, both for Ivan book and because my customers
are interested (and well - because it's fun, too!). First topic is how to
build menus more easily (next one will be long running operations and how to
sugar them).

I'd be interested to get your opinion on both the DSL syntax (below for
quick read or 
here<http://github.com/thbar/ironruby-labs/blob/66b45fd6f13d2b3c8aa8021ee3f58303a9bb7eae/ui/003_dsl_menu.rb>
on
github) and the
implementation<http://github.com/thbar/ironruby-labs/blob/66b45fd6f13d2b3c8aa8021ee3f58303a9bb7eae/ui/menu_builder.rb>
.

form.menu = MainMenu.build do
  item("&File") {
    item("&New") {
      item("Spreadsheet")
      item("Document")
    }
    item "&Quit", lambda { Application.Exit }
  }
  item("&Tools") {

 item "&PowerBlade", lambda { MessageBox.Show("Powerblades are amazing...") }
    item "&Scissors"
  }
end

what do you think ?

cheers,

Thibaut Barrère
