How do I iterate through the pseudo-template list class containing  
wxMenuItem pointers.  
Am still a bit of a Ruby/wxRuby noob.  
Currently have this:

pp mymenu.get\_menu\_items()

which prints:  
#SWIG::TYPE\_p\_wxMenuItemList:0x4634fa8

However when I try to do:  
mymenu.get\_menu\_items().each {|key| …} it tells me there is no each  
method for this class (SWIG::TYPE\_p\_wxMenuItemList)

```
class MyMenu < Wx::Menu
  def each
    (0...menu_item_count).each do | i |
      yield find_item_by_position(i)
    end
  end
end

```
