The argument of glutCreateMenu is a procedure access type.
The procedure accessed takes 1 argument which is an Integer that tells
you which entry was selected.

Example:

Here I create a pop-menu to select a color:

   -----------------------
   -- window color menu --
   -----------------------

   Color_Submenu := Glut.glutCreateMenu (SelectColor'Unrestricted_Access);
   Glut.glutAddMenuEntry (Green_String, 1);
   Glut.glutAddMenuEntry (Red_String, 2);
   Glut.glutAddMenuEntry (White_String, 3);

Activate it as a submenu:

   Glut.glutAttachMenu (Glut.GLUT_RIGHT_BUTTON);

Here is the callback procedure that actually sets the color:

   -----------------------
   -- window color menu --
   -----------------------

   procedure SelectColor (Color : in Integer) is
   begin
      case Color is
         when 1 => Gl.GlColor3f (0.0, 1.0, 0.0);  -- green
         when 2 => Gl.glColor3f (1.0, 0.0, 0.0);  -- red
         when 3 => Gl.glColor3f (1.0, 1.0, 1.0);  -- white
         when others => null; -- no error handling
      end case;
      Glut.glutPostRedisplay;
   end SelectColor;
