Remarks

You can define default appearance settings for items within sub-menus and popup menus via BarAndDockingControllers. This can be accomplished using a BarAndDockingController’s AppearancesBar.SubMenu.AppearanceMenu object.

You can override these default settings as follows:

• customize appearance settings for all items within a sub-menu via the sub-menu’s BarCustomContainerItem.MenuAppearance;
• customize appearance settings for all items within a popup menu via the PopupMenu.MenuAppearance;
• customize appearance settings for individual items within sub-menus and popup menus via the BarItem.ItemInMenuAppearance.

Only the Font and ForeColor properties are in effect in skinning paint schemes. See Look and Feel to learn more.
