Remarks
Although BiMenuButton extends BiComponent (and BiLabel) it is not recommended to use the inherited properties, or to add a BiMenuButton to any component that is not a BiMenuBar. Use only properties inherited from BiEventTarget. This inheritance was chosen in order to quickly create a new unified menu implementation. In the future the inheritance may change, but BiEventTarget will remain a superclass.
