Remarks

A popup control will be displayed differently according to the menu manager you use. The following menu managers are supported:

• SkinMenuManager - This manager displays a popup control as a regular menu.

  

  DXEditMenuItem objects are not supported by the SkinMenuManager. These items, which are used to embed in-place editors into popup controls, are presented only in text (without edit boxes).

  A DXButtonGroupItem object, which is used to present a set of linked buttons, is displayed as a sub-menu by the SkinMenuManager.

• BarManager - This manager displays a popup control as a popup bar.

  

• RibbonControl - This manager displays a popup control as a RibbonMiniToolbar.
