MenuItem::Visible Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the menu item is visible.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the menu item will be made visible on the menu; otherwise, false. The default is true.
You can use this property to modify a menu structure without having to merge menus or disable menus. For example, if you want to hide a complete section of functionality from the menus for your application, you can hide them from the user by setting this property to false.
The following code example creates a menu item, sets the caption, assigns a shortcut key, makes the menu item visible, and shows the shortcut key display for the menu item. The example requires that a MenuItem has been created that is named menuItem1.
public: void SetupMyMenuItem() { // Set the caption for the menu item. menuItem1->Text = "&New"; // Assign a shortcut key. menuItem1->Shortcut = Shortcut::CtrlN; // Make the menu item visible. menuItem1->Visible = true; // Display the shortcut key combination. menuItem1->ShowShortcut = true; }
