| TextOnly | Specifies that an item is represented only by its text, and the item’s clickable content is bounded by the text length. |
| TextAndImage | Specifies that an item is represented by both the text and image (if any), and the item’s clickable content is bounded by the total size of the text and image. |

Remarks
Use the ItemLinkMode property to specify the manner in which menu items are displayed as links within the menu control. This property controls whether the clickable content of each menu item which serves as a link (the item whose MenuItem.NavigateUrl property is defined) extends to the width of the submenu’s boundaries (see the ItemLinkMode.ContentBounds value) or is bound by the size of the item’s text (see the ItemLinkMode.TextOnly value) or the total size of the text and image (see the ItemLinkMode.TextAndImage).
Note that when the ItemLinkMode property is set to ItemLinkMode.ContentBounds, the menu’s items can be hot-tracked (if the hot-track feature is enabled via the MenuSettingsBase.EnableHotTrack property).
The image below shows two Menus in two link modes - ContentBounds and TextOnly.
