Remarks

If the AllowOptionsMenuItem property is set to true, the Navigation Pane Customization Menu contains a Navigation Pane Options… menu command. This command invokes the Navigation Pane Options dialog allowing an end-user to change the order of groups and font settings of items:

For groups displaying custom controls (when their NavBarGroup.GroupStyle properties are set to NavBarGroupStyle.ControlContainer), the Font button in the Navigation Pane Options dialog is disabled by default. To enable this button and allow an end-user to customize a font for this group, handle the NavBarControl.NavPaneOptionsCanEditGroupFont event. After the user selected a font via a separate dialog, you can apply this font to the group according to custom logic via the NavBarControl.NavPaneOptionsApplyGroupFont event.
