' 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.
