Constant descriptions

kCMNothingSelected

The user did not choose an item from the contextual menu and the application should do no further processing of the event.

kCMMenuItemSelected

The user chose one of the application's items from the menu. The application can examine the outMenuID and outMenuItem parameters of ContextualMenuSelect to see what the menu selection was, and it should then handle the selection appropriately.

kCMShowHelpSelected

The user chose the Help item from the menu. The application should open an Apple Guide database to a section appropriate for the selection. If the application supports some other form of help, it should be presented instead.
