While searching for a minigui example in Google, you likely will find this old outdated example. Therefore I answer this very old post. Here a new example from Adam:


module menutest;
import arsd.minigui;

struct Info {
	string name;
	string email;
}

class MyWindow : MainWindow {
	this() {
		super("Menu Demo", 250, 400);
		setMenuAndToolbarFromAnnotatedCode(this);
		statusTip = "gnarley";
		textEdit = new TextEdit(this);
		auto hl = new HorizontalLayout(this);
		auto btn = new Button("test", hl);
		auto btn2 = new Button("test", hl);

		btn.addEventListener("click", () {
			messageBox("You clicked");
		});

		btn2.addEventListener(EventType.triggered, () {
			dialog!Info((info) {
				import std.conv;
				textEdit.content = to!string(info);
			});
		});

		textEdit.content = "generic content here";
	}

	TextEdit textEdit;

	@menu("File") {
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.New)
		@accelerator("Ctrl+Shift+N")
		void New() {
			textEdit.content = "";
		}
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.Open)
		@accelerator("Ctrl+O")
		void Open() {
			getOpenFileName( (string s) {
				//import std.file;
				//textEdit.content = (readText(s));
			} );
		}
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.Save)
		void Save() @accelerator("Ctrl+S") { getSaveFileName( (string s) {} ); }
		void SaveAs() {}
		@separator
		void Exit() @accelerator("Alt+F4") { this.close(); }
	}

	@menu("Edit") {
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.Undo)
		@accelerator("Ctrl+Z")
		void Undo() {}
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.Redo)
		@accelerator("Ctrl+R")
		void Redo() {}
		@separator
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.Cut)
		@accelerator("Ctrl+X")
		void Cut() {}
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.Copy)
		@accelerator("Ctrl+C")
		void Copy() {}
		@toolbar("")
		@icon(GenericIcons.Paste)
		@accelerator("Ctrl+V")
		void Paste() {}
	}

	@menu("Help") {
		@accelerator("F1")
		void Topics() {}
		@separator
		void About() {}
	}
}

void main() {
	auto window = new MyWindow();
	window.loop();
}

Kind regards
