Public ReadOnly Property ContextMenuCustomizations As BarManagerActionCollection

Property value

Dock panels support context menus, invoked by right-clicking the panel's caption:

You can modify these menus by adding modification actions to the ContextMenuCustomizations collection. The actions are represented by objects that implement the DevExpress.Xpf.Bars.IBarManagerControllerAction interface. Some of these objects are:

• BarItem descendants - Adding this object to the ContextMenuCustomizations collection adds a link to this bar item to the menu.
• BarItemLink descendants - Adding this object adds a link to an existing bar item to the menu.
• AddBarItemAction - This action creates a new bar item to an internal bar item collection. However, no link to this item is added to the menu.
• AddBarItemLinkAction - This action adds a link to an existing bar item to the menu.
• InsertBarItemLinkAction - This action inserts a bar item link at a specific position within the menu.

This example shows how to customize a panel's context menu via customization actions.
Menu customization actions are added via the DockLayoutManager.ContextMenuCustomizations collection.
