Remarks

If you set the BeginGroup property of a MenuItem or ToolbarItem object to True, a separator is inserted into the menu or a spacer is inserted into the toolbar preceding this item.

Note  In Microsoft Visio 2000, the only way to create a separator in a menu or a spacer in a toolbar was to add a dummy item with a CmdNum property of zero, a Caption property that contained "", and an empty MenuItems or ToolbarItems collection. This technique continues to work in Microsoft Visio 2002.
