// In constuctor of window
set_menu(main);

This example creates a menu with a submenu. This submenu contains radio menu items and check menu item, all of which can be toggled. The last item in the menu (Close) is attached to a signal handler so that the application can also be closed from the menu.

This example also shows how to derive your own window class from Hildon::Window:
