Property Value

Type	Description
BarManagerActionCollection	A collection of bar actions used to customize the context menu.

Remarks

The Customizations property allows you to customize the Rich Text Editor’s context menus. You can add or remove menu items. The PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.MenuType property allows you to determine for which element (document text, a header or footer, a picture, etc.) the menu is invoked.

The example below customizes the Text context menu as follows:

• Creates new Highlight Selection and Insert Picture items
• Removes the Increase Indent and Decrease Indent items
