A RibbonMenuItem control defines a menu item for the application menu (RibbonApplicationMenu) or the ribbon menu (RibbonMenu) in the RibbonBar control. There are three types of menu items:
-
Normal(0) -- Can be inserted as the master menu item to the application menu or as the menu item to the ribbon menu.
-
Separator(1) -- Can be inserted as a separator to the master menu in the application menu or to the menu in the ribbon menu. A separator is a horizontal line used to visually distinguish between groups of menu items.
-
Recent(2) -- Can be inserted as the recent menu item to the application menu.
The RibbonMenuItem control is the child object of the RibbonApplicationMenu control and the RibbonMenu control. For the hierarchical structure of the ribbon controls and how to get and set them, refer to the section called “Accessing the RibbonBar items in the hierarchy” in Users Guide.
This control has no events. But you can create user events and bind them with this control. You can create the Clicked user event and the Selected user event. For how to create the Clicked user event, see Clicked in PowerScript Reference; for how to create the Selected user event, see Selected in PowerScript Reference.
