Property Value

Type: System::Char
The character used to delimit the path of a menu item. The default value is a slash mark (/).

Each menu item (represented by a MenuItem object) in the Menu control has a ValuePath property that specifies the position of the menu item. The value path is a string of delimited values that form the path from a root menu item to the current menu item. Use the PathSeparator property to specify the delimiting character used to separate the values in the menu path. This value is commonly used when parsing the list for the individual values.

Depending on the text displayed in the Menu control, the delimiter character might need to be changed to prevent any conflicts. For example, if you set the delimiter character to a comma, the displayed text should not contain any commas; otherwise, the ValuePath property cannot be parsed accurately.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the PathSeparator property to change the delimiter character for a menu item's value path to a comma.
