Remarks

Use the BarLinkContainerItem item to represent a group of item links. This can be useful if you need to display specific bar items within multiple menus.

1. Create a BarLinkContainerItem item.
2. Add bar item links.
3. Add the BarLinkContainerItem item to a toolbar or menu.

At design time, the BarLinkContainerItem item is displayed as a single entry. The following screenshot displays a BarLinkContainerItem item displayed within a menu (at design time):

At runtime, the BarLinkContainerItem item is expanded to display its bar item links:

Note

If a BarLinkContainerItem is placed onto a toolbar or Ribbon Control, the BarLinkContainerItem is represented as a submenu.

Use the BarCustomContainerItem.ItemLinks property to add bar item links. At design time, use the BarManager’s Customization Window to add links to the container item.

Important

If you create a bar item in code, associate the bar item with the BarManager or RibbonControl. Use the constructor with the BarManager parameter. To display the bar item within the Ribbon Control, pass the RibbonControl.Manager object as the BarManager parameter.
