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

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Container

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

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 an IDXMenuManager object to control the look and feel of the popup menus. If the property is set to null, the control’s popup menus will be painted by the control 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 a BarManager object, you can provide different look and feel styles for popup menus. In this case, look and feel settings are controlled by the BarAndDockingController.LookAndFeel property of the BarAndDockingController used by the BarManager.
