Examples

The following code example shows how to initialize a custom type, which is derived from the PrimarySelectionContextMenuProvider class. The derived type implements a custom context menu, which sets the Background property of a control at design time. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Menu Provider.

' The provider's constructor sets up the MenuAction objects 
' and the the MenuGroup which holds them.
Public Sub New()

    ' Set up the MenuAction which sets the control's 
    ' background to Blue.
    setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction = New MenuAction("Blue")
    setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Checkable = True
    AddHandler setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Execute, AddressOf SetBackgroundToBlue_Execute

    ' Set up the MenuAction which sets the control's 
    ' background to its default value.
    clearBackgroundMenuAction = New MenuAction("Cleared")
    clearBackgroundMenuAction.Checkable = True
    AddHandler clearBackgroundMenuAction.Execute, AddressOf ClearBackground_Execute

    ' Set up the MenuGroup which holds the MenuAction items.
    Dim backgroundFlyoutGroup As New MenuGroup("SetBackgroundsGroup", "Set Background")

    ' If HasDropDown is false, the group appears inline, 
    ' instead of as a flyout. Set to true.
    backgroundFlyoutGroup.HasDropDown = True
    backgroundFlyoutGroup.Items.Add(setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction)
    backgroundFlyoutGroup.Items.Add(clearBackgroundMenuAction)
    Me.Items.Add(backgroundFlyoutGroup)

    ' The UpdateItemStatus event is raised immediately before 
    ' this provider shows its tabs, which provides the opportunity 
    ' to set states.
    AddHandler UpdateItemStatus, AddressOf CustomContextMenuProvider_UpdateItemStatus

End Sub

// The provider's constructor sets up the MenuAction objects 
// and the the MenuGroup which holds them.
public CustomContextMenuProvider()
{   
    // Set up the MenuAction which sets the control's 
    // background to Blue.
    setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction = new MenuAction("Blue");
    setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Checkable = true;
    setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Execute += 
        new EventHandler<MenuActionEventArgs>(SetBackgroundToBlue_Execute);

    // Set up the MenuAction which sets the control's 
    // background to its default value.
    clearBackgroundMenuAction = new MenuAction("Cleared");
    clearBackgroundMenuAction.Checkable = true;
    clearBackgroundMenuAction.Execute += 
        new EventHandler<MenuActionEventArgs>(ClearBackground_Execute);

    // Set up the MenuGroup which holds the MenuAction items.
    MenuGroup backgroundFlyoutGroup = 
        new MenuGroup("SetBackgroundsGroup", "Set Background");

    // If HasDropDown is false, the group appears inline, 
    // instead of as a flyout. Set to true.
    backgroundFlyoutGroup.HasDropDown = true;
    backgroundFlyoutGroup.Items.Add(setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction);
    backgroundFlyoutGroup.Items.Add(clearBackgroundMenuAction);
    this.Items.Add(backgroundFlyoutGroup);

    // The UpdateItemStatus event is raised immediately before 
    // this provider shows its tabs, which provides the opportunity 
    // to set states.
    UpdateItemStatus += 
        new EventHandler<MenuActionEventArgs>(
