BaseEdit.MenuManager Property

Gets or sets an object that controls the look and feel of the popup menus.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v19.1.dll

Declaration

[DefaultValue(null)]
[DXCategory("BarManager")]
public IDXMenuManager MenuManager { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
DevExpress.Utils.Menu.IDXMenuManager *null*

An object that controls the look and feel of the popup menus.

Remarks

The MenuManager property allows you to specify the IDXMenuManager object used to control the look and feel of popup menus. If this property is set to null, the editor’s popup menus will be painted by the editor itself. Otherwise, the IDXMenuManager object will be responsible for painting the menus.

Currently, the IDXMenuManager interface is implemented by the BarManager component which is part of the DevExpress Ribbon, Menu and Docking Library.

If the MenuManager property is set to an instance of the BarManager component, the appearance of popup menus is specified by the current look-and-feel settings. These settings can be changed via the BarAndDockingController.LookAndFeel and BarAndDockingController.PaintStyleName properties of the bar and docking controller used by the bar manager.

The following images show a PictureEdit control’s menus painted using various schemes imposed by the associated bar manager:
