TdxBarManager.AlwaysMerge Property

Specifies when a merge mechanism for toolbars and menus of parent and child MDI windows is enabled.

#Declaration

Delphi
property AlwaysMerge: Boolean read; write; default False;

#Property Value

Type Default
Boolean False

#Remarks

If this property is set to False, merging only occurs when a child MDI window is maximized. Otherwise, merging occurs on any transition of a child MDI window’s state.

To manually provide the merging logic, handle the OnMerge and OnMenuMerge events. The ExpressBars Suite automatically merges main menus provided that the OnMenuMerge event is not handled.

Note

The AlwaysMerge property is in effect only for a bar manager in a parent form.

You can handle the OnMergeItemLink event to specify how item links are merged on bars and menus.
