//Menu datasource
var menuItems = [
    {
        text: 'File',
        items: [
            { text: 'Open' },
            { text: 'Save' },
            { text: 'Exit' }
        ]
    },
    {
        text: 'Edit',
        items: [
            { text: 'Cut' },
            { text: 'Copy' },
            { text: 'Paste' }

            { text: 'Toolbar' },
            { text: 'Sidebar' },
            { text: 'Full Screen' }
