[edit] Sub Enable()
Sets the MenuItem's Enabled property to true. You call it in an EnableMenuItems event handler, or in the EnableMenu event handler of a MenuItem subclass.
[edit] Sub MenuItem()
Default constructor for the MenuItem class.
[edit] Sub MenuItem(text as String, tag as Variant = nil)
This second constructor allows you to set the text and tag.
[edit] Function Popup(x as Integer, y as Integer) as MenuItem
Displays the menu as a contextual menu at the x and y coordinates. The arguments are optional, and if omitted the menu will be displayed at the current cursor location. The MenuItem selected by the user is returned. The arguments are also global rather than being relative to the object handling the mouse event.
[edit] Properties
[edit] AutoEnable as Boolean
When AutoEnable is set to true, the corresponding menu item will be enabled if a menu handler exists for the menu item in the calling chain of the menu item. In MenuItem subclasses, the corresponding menu item will also be enabled if the Action event handler is implemented. AutoEnable is set to true by default.
[edit] Enabled as Boolean
If true, the corresponding menu item is enabled in the menu.
[edit] Tag as Variant
The Tag property allows you to store additional information with a MenuItem.
[edit] Text as String
This is the text displayed by the menu when it is opened by the user.
[edit] Visible as Boolean
When Visible is true, the menu item will be visible in the menu when opened by the user. True by default.
