Property Value

Type Default Description
DefaultBoolean **Default**

A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether this BarItem should display its shortcut in sub-menus and pop-up menus.

Available values:

Name Description
True

Corresponds to a Boolean value of true.

False

Corresponds to a Boolean value of false.

Default

The value is determined by the current object’s parent object setting (e.g., a control setting).

Remarks

BarItems can have keyboard shortcuts that allow your end-users to quickly perform the required action. These shortcuts can be set using the BarItem.ItemShortcut property. BarItem shortcuts are visible within sub-menus and pop-up menus if the ShowItemShortcut property equals DefaultBoolean.Default or DefaultBoolean.True. The figure below illustrates a sample pop-up menu, whose Undo, Copy, Cut and Paste items display their shortcuts, while the Clear and Select All items don’t.

BarItem - ShowItemShortcut

By default, the displayed text matches the keyboard combination set as the item shortcut. You can display the different text using the BarItem.ShortcutKeyDisplayString property.
