The following example uses this version of the MergeMenu method to create a copy of a MenuItem and merge it with another. The merged MenuItem is then added to a ContextMenu control. This example assumes that there are two menu items called menuItem1 and menuItem2 that contain submenu items within them and a ContextMenu named contextMenu1 to display the menu items. menuItem1 and menuItem2 have different menu items contained within them. After the call to MergeMenu is made, a consolidated menu is created.
private void MergeMyMenus() { // Set the merge type to merge the items from both top menu items. menuItem1.MergeType = MenuMerge.MergeItems; menuItem2.MergeType = MenuMerge.MergeItems; // Create a copy of my menu item. MenuItem tempMenuItem = new MenuItem(); // Create a copy of menuItem1 before doing the merge. tempMenuItem = menuItem1.CloneMenu(); // Merge menuItem1's copy with a clone of menuItem2 tempMenuItem.MergeMenu(menuItem2.CloneMenu()); // Add the merged menu to the ContextMenu control. contextMenu1.MenuItems.Add(tempMenuItem); }
private void MergeMyMenus()
{
// Set the merge type to merge the items from both top menu items.
menuItem1.set_MergeType(MenuMerge.MergeItems);
menuItem2.set_MergeType(MenuMerge.MergeItems);
// Create a copy of my menu item.
MenuItem tempMenuItem = new MenuItem();
// Create a copy of menuItem1 before doing the merge.
tempMenuItem = menuItem1.CloneMenu();
// Merge menuItem1's copy with a clone of menuItem2
tempMenuItem.MergeMenu(menuItem2.CloneMenu());
// Add the merged menu to the ContextMenu control.
contextMenu1.get_MenuItems().Add(tempMenuItem);
} //MergeMyMenus
