## Class MenuBarSkin

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.control.SkinBase<MenuBar>
  - - javafx.scene.control.skin.MenuBarSkin

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Skin<MenuBar>`

      public class MenuBarSkin
      extends SkinBase<MenuBar>

  Default skin implementation for the `MenuBar` control. In essence it is a simple toolbar. For the time being there is no overflow behavior and we just hide nodes which fall outside the bounds.
  Since:
    9
