The menu bar widget is not supported on native mobile pages.

Introduction

A menu bar shows menu items of a navigation profile or in a menu document in the form of a horizontal bar with items. These items are determined by the Menu source and are either configured in the Navigation or a Menu.

Menu bars can go two levels deep, that means menu items can have sub-items. For more information on menu items and their properties, see Menu.
