Public Property MergeType As BarItemMergeType

Type	Description
BarItemMergeType	A BarItemMergeType enumerator value that specifies how backstage controls should merge this item.

Available values:

Name	Description
Default	Acts identically to the Add value.
Add	Specifies that the child BarManager’s BarItemLink should be added to a bar/link container of a parent BarManager. When merging bars and link containers, the position to insert the BarItemLink is determined by the BarItemLinkBase.MergeOrder properties of this link and of the links within the target bar/link container.
Replace	Indicates that the child BarManager’s BarItemLink should replace the parent BarManager’s link that has the same BarItem.Content, but only if the parent link’s BarItemLinkBase.MergeType property is also set to Replace. If such a link is not found in the parent BarManager’s bar/link container, the child BarManager’s link will be added to the bar/link container (similar to the Add setting).
MergeItems	This setting is applied to link the following containers: Bar, BarSubItem, PopupMenu, BarLinkContainerItem. When this setting is applied, the child container’s links are merged into the parent container with the same caption. If the captions of these containers are different, the child container’s links are added to the parent container (similar to the Add setting).
Remove	For a child BarManager’s BarItemLink, indicates that the link must not be added to the parent BarManager’s bar/link container during merging. For a parent BarManager’s BarItemLink, indicates that the link must be removed from the bar/link container during merging.
