To sTag you can add any additional information you may need. Returns True if the element was added to the menu, and False if there was any error.

Events:

MenuItemClick (sKey as String, sTag as String): this event will fire when the user clicks over an item in the menu. Use sKey to know what element the user clicked on. In sTag you can have any additional information you may need.
