Remarks

The BarItemMenuHeader is a container object that stores bar items and links and allows you to detach them into multiple sub-groups. Similar to other bar items, you can reference the BarItemMenuHeader by the BarItemLinkMenuHeader class instance.

If the BarItemMenuHeader.ItemsOrientation property is set to Horizontal the BarItemMenuHeader displays item glyphs without captions.

The following code sample creates a context menu that consists of BarItemMenuHeader objects with different captions and orientations:
