`$removeItem(<popup_id:Uinteger>)`
Removes the menu item that has the identifier id.
`$removeItemAt(<index:uinteger>)`
Removes the menu item at position index.
`$insertSeparator(<index:uinteger>)`

Examples

    // first we define a class inherited from popupmenu
    class(menu,popupmenu)
    {
        constructor()
        {
            // we store the item's id for checkit in activatedEvent
                            @%tile_id=@$insertItem("Tile",118)
                            @%cascade_id=@$insertItem("Cascade",115)
                            @$insertSeparator(3)
                            @%closeactw_id=@$insertItem("Close Active Window",08)
                            @%closeallw_id=@$insertItem("Close All Window",58)
        }
        activatedEvent()
        {
            // now we emit a signals to the relative to the user choice
            %id=$0
            if (%id==@%tile_id) @$emit("tile")
            else if(%id==@%cascade_id) @$emit("cascade")
            else if (%id==@%closeactw_id) @$emit("closeactive")

            // deleting the popup
            delete $$
        }

    // we create the workspace widget
    %Workspace=$new(workspace)
    // we use as space as we have
    %size[]=%Workspace->$screenResolution()
    // resize it
    %Workspace->$resize(%size[0],%size[1])
    // then create 20 subwidget
    for(%i=0;%i<20;%i++)
    {
        %w=$new(ws,%Workspace)
        // let's add avery widget to the workspace
        %Workspace->$addSubWindow(%w)
        // then "shake it" a little bit around :-)
        %w->$move($rand($(%size[0]-50)),$rand($(%size[1]-50)))
    }
    // reimplement closeEvent to delete all this :-)
    privateimpl(%Workspace,closeEvent)
