Syntax
'Declaration
Protected Sub New

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 MenuAction.
' 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>(
CustomContextMenuProvider_UpdateItemStatus);
