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	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

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.

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.
