## Remarks

This class is not available in .NET Core 3.1 and later versions. Use <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem> instead.

 In order for a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> to be displayed, you must add it to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> or <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu>. To create submenus, you can add <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Menu.MenuItems%2A> property of the parent <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem>.  
  
 The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> class provides properties that enable you to configure the appearance and functionality of a menu item. To display a check mark next to a menu item, use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Checked%2A> property. You can use this feature to identify a menu item that is selected in a list of mutually exclusive menu items. For example, if you have a set of menu items for setting the color of text in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control, you can use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Checked%2A> property to identify which color is currently selected. The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Shortcut%2A> property can be used to define a keyboard combination that can be pressed to select the menu item.  
  
 For <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects displayed in a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application, you can use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeMenu%2A> method to merge the menus of an MDI parent for with that of its child forms to create a consolidated menu structure. Because a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> cannot be reused in multiple locations at the same time, such as in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> and a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu>, you can use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.CloneMenu%2A> method to create a copy of a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> for use in another location.  
  
 The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Popup> event enables you to perform tasks before a menu is displayed. For example, you can create an event handler for this event to display or hide menu items based on the state of your code. The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Select> event enables you to perform tasks such as providing detailed help for your application's menu items when the user places the mouse pointer over a menu item.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a menu structure for a form. The example code adds a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> to represent the top-level menu item, adds a submenu item to it for selecting a font size, and then adds two submenu items to that menu item that represent large and small font choices in an application. The example requires that there is a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> object named `mainMenu1` and four <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects named `menuItem1`, `menuItem2`, `menuItem3`, and `menuItem4`.

        <remarks>
          <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[  
  
## Remarks  
 When you specify a caption for your menu item with the `text` parameter, you can also specify an access key by placing an '&' character before the character to be used as the access key. For example, to specify the "F" in "File" as an access key, you would specify the caption for the menu item as "&File". You can use this feature to provide keyboard navigation for your menus.  
  
 Setting the `text` parameter to "`-`" causes your menu item to be displayed as a separator (a horizontal line) rather than a standard menu item.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> that specifies the caption of the menu item at the time it is constructed.

## Remarks  
 When you specify a caption for your menu item with the `text` parameter, you can also specify an access key by placing an '&' before the character to be used as the access key. For example, to specify the "F" in "File" as an access key, you would specify the caption for the menu item as "&File". You can use this feature to provide keyboard navigation for your menus.  
  
 Setting the `text` parameter to "`-`" causes your menu item to be displayed as a separator (a horizontal line) rather than a standard menu item.  
  
 The `items` parameter enables you to assign an array of menu items to define a submenu of this menu item. Each item in the array can also have an array of menu items assigned to it. This enables you to create complete menu structures and assign them to the constructor for the menu item.

## Examples  
 The following code example creates an object with a specified caption, an event handler connected to a method that will handle the event each menu item in an array of submenu items.

## Remarks  
 When you specify a caption for your menu item with the `text` parameter, you can also specify an access key by placing an '&' before the character to be used as the access key. For example, to specify the "F" in "File" as an access key, you would specify the caption for the menu item as "&File". You can use this feature to provide keyboard navigation for your menus.  
  
 Setting the `text` parameter to "`-`" causes your menu item to be displayed as a separator (a horizontal line) rather than a standard menu item.  
  
 The `items` parameter enables you to assign an array of menu items to define a submenu of this menu item. Each item in the array can also have an array of menu items assigned to it. This enables you to create complete menu structures and assign them to the constructor for the menu item.  
  
 The `mergeType` and `mergeOrder` parameters allow you to determine how this menu item will behave when the menu item is merged with another menu. Depending on the value you specify for the `mergeType` parameter, you can either add, remove, replace, or merge the menu item and its submenu items with the menu that it is merging with. The `mergeOrder` parameter determines where the menu item being created will be positioned when the menu is merged.  
  
 In addition, you can use this constructor to create a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> and have it connected to an event handler in your code that will process the click of the menu item. The <xref:System.EventHandler> that you pass into this constructor should be configured to call an event handler that can handle the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event. By using this constructor version, you can also connect the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Popup> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Select> events to determine when this menu item is selected. You can use these events for tasks such as determining whether or not to display a check mark next to submenu items or to enable or disable menu items based on the state of the application. The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Select> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> events are raised only for <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects that are not parent menu items. For more information on handling events, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a menu item that has a caption and shortcut key. The menu item also has event handlers defined for the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Popup>, <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click>, and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Select> events. If this menu item is merged, it will add the menu item to the menu with the merge order of zero.

## Remarks  
 You can use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.BarBreak%2A> property to create a menu where each menu item is placed next to each other horizontally instead of in a vertical list. You can also use this property to create a menu bar that contains multiple rows of top-level menu items.  
  
 This property differs from the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Break%2A> property in that a bar is displayed on the left edge of each menu item that has the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Break%2A> property set to `true`. The bar is only displayed when the menu item is not a top-level menu item.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> with two submenu items. The two submenu items are displayed horizontally instead of vertically using the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.BarBreak%2A> property.

## Remarks  
 You can use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Checked%2A> property in combination with other menu items in a menu to provide state for an application. For example, you can place a check mark on a menu item in a group of items to identify the size of the font to be displayed for the text in an application. You can also use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Checked%2A> property to identify the selected menu item in a group of mutually exclusive menu items.  
  
> [!NOTE]
> This property cannot be set to `true` for top-level menu items.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example uses the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Checked%2A> property to provide the state in an application. In this example, a group of menu items are used to specify the color for the text in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control. The event handler provided is used by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event of three menu items. Each menu item specifies a text color, `menuItemRed` (Red), `menuItemGreen` (Green), or `menuItemBlue` (Blue). The event handler determines which menu item was clicked, places a checkmark to the selected menu item, and changes the text color of the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control. The example requires that the <xref:System.Drawing> namespace has been added to the form that this code is placed in. The example also requires that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> has been added to the form that this example code is located in that is named `textBox1`.

        <remarks>

## Remarks  
 The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event occurs when this <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> is clicked by the user. This event also occurs if the user selects the menu item using the keyboard and presses the Enter key. It can also occur if an access key or shortcut key is pressed that is associated with the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem>. For more information about handling events, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).  
  
> [!NOTE]
> If the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Menu.MenuItems%2A> property for the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> contains any items, this event is not raised. This event is not raised for parent menu items.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event to perform tasks when a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> is clicked. The example creates a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> called `mainMenu1` and adds two <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects, `topMenuItem` (`File`) and `menuItem1` (`Open`). It then connects the `Click` event to the `menuItem1_Click` event handler. When the user clicks the `Open` menu item, an <xref:System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog> is initialized and displayed. The example requires that you have created a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form> named `Form1`.

## Remarks  
 <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects cannot be used in more than one place unless you obtain a copy of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem>. You can call this method to create a copy of this menu item for use in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu>, <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu>, or other <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> within your application. When a menu item is cloned, any event handlers specified in the original menu item will continue to function in the cloned version of the menu item. For example, if you created a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> and connected its <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event to an event handler. When the menu item is cloned, the cloned menu item will call the same event handler.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example clones a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> and displays it in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu>. The example requires that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> exists in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> on a form with the name of `menuItem1` and that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> object named `contextMenu1` also exists on the form.

## Remarks  
 Call this method to create copies of menu items that you have already created for use in a shortcut menu or another menu structure within your application. This version of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.CloneMenu%2A> allows you to specify a specific <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> to copy instead of the menu item that is calling the method. You can use this method to initialize a new <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> object with a copy of another <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem>. When a menu item is cloned, any event handlers specified in the original menu item will continue to function in the cloned version of the menu item. For example, if you created a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> and connected its <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event to an event handler. When the menu item is cloned, the cloned menu item will call the same event handler.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example initializes a new <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> with a copy of an existing <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> that is used in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> on a form. The code then adds the cloned <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> on the form. This example requires that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> is already created and named `menuItem1` and that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> control has been created and named `contextMenu1`.

## Remarks  
 The default menu item for a menu is boldfaced. When the user double-clicks a submenu that contains a default item, the default item is selected, and the submenu is closed. You can use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.DefaultItem%2A> property to indicate, the default action that is expected in a menu or shortcut menu.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a menu item with two submenu items. The example sets `menuItem2` as the default menu item using the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.DefaultItem%2A> property.

 Call <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Dispose%2A> when you are finished using the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem>. The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Dispose%2A> method leaves the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> in an unusable state. After calling <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Dispose%2A>, you must release all references to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> so the memory it was occupying can be reclaimed by garbage collection.  
  
> [!NOTE]
> Always call <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Dispose%2A> before you release your last reference to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem>. Otherwise, the resources the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> is using will not be freed until garbage collection calls the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> object's destructor.

## Remarks  
 The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs> argument passed to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.DrawItem> event handler provides a <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> object that enables you to perform drawing and other graphical operations on the surface of the menu item. You can use this event handler to create custom menus that meet the needs of your application. For more information about handling events, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates how to handle the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.DrawItem> event. This example draws a menu item using a <xref:System.Drawing.Brush> and a <xref:System.Drawing.Font>, and then draws a <xref:System.Drawing.Rectangle> around the menu item. The drawing is performed through the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> object, which is passed to the event handler in the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs> parameter. This example requires that you have initialized the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OwnerDraw%2A> property for the item to `true`. For the C# example, add the following code in the form's constructor, after `InitializeComponent`, to hook up the event:  
  
 `this.menuItem1.DrawItem += new DrawItemEventHandler(menuItem1_DrawItem);`

## Remarks  
 A <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> that is disabled is displayed in a gray color to indicate its state. When a parent menu item is disabled, all submenu items are not displayed.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Popup> event to determine whether <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects that provide support for cut, copy, and delete operations are enabled before the menu they are displayed in is shown. The example determines if `textBox1`, a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control on the form, is enabled, has input focus, and has text selected before enabling the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects. This example requires that three <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects are created named `menuCut`, `menuCopy`, and `menuDelete` have been created.

 The following code example switches the position of two menu items in a menu. The following code example requires that two <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects are created named `menuItem1` and `menuItem2`. The `menuItem1` menu item moves down one position in the menu, while `menuItem2` moves up one position.

## Remarks  
 In order for this event to be raised, you must have the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OwnerDraw%2A> property of the menu item set to `true`. This event is raised before owner drawn menus are drawn to allow for the size of the menu item to be drawn to be specified. For more information about handling events, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates the use of this member. In the example, an event handler reports on the occurrence of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MeasureItem> event. This report helps you to learn when the event occurs and can assist you in debugging.  
  
 To run the example code, paste it into a project that contains an instance of type <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> named `MenuItem1`. Then ensure that the event handler is associated with the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MeasureItem> event.

## Remarks  
 Menu items are merged according to the value of the menu item's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeType%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeOrder%2A> properties. This version of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeMenu%2A> method enables you to merge two <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects (and their submenus) into a single menu. Menu merging is handled automatically when a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) parent form and a child both have menus. You can use this version of the method to merge two <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects (and their submenu items) located in a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> control into a single menu within a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu>. For example, you can call this version of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeMenu%2A> method to merge the menu items of a File and Edit menu into a single <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> that can then be added to and displayed by a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu>.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example uses this version of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeMenu%2A> method to create a copy of a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> and merge it with another. The merged <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> is then added to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> control. This example requires that there are two menu items called `menuItem1` and `menuItem2` that contain submenu items within them and a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> named `contextMenu1` to display the menu items. `menuItem1` and `menuItem2` have different menu items contained within them. After the call to <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeMenu%2A> is made, a consolidated menu is created.

## Remarks  
 The merge type of a menu item indicates how the menu item behaves when it has the same merge order as another menu item being merged. You can use merged menus to create a consolidated menu based on two or more existing menus.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> with the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeType%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MergeOrder%2A> specified so that the menu item is added to the merged menu at first position.

## Remarks  
 Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event to perform tasks when a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> is clicked. The example creates a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> called `mainMenu1` and adds two <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects, `topMenuItem` (`File`) and `menuItem1` (`Open`). It then connects the `Click` event to the `menuItem1_Click` event handler. When the user clicks the `Open` menu item, an <xref:System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog> is initialized and displayed. The example requires that you have created a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form> named `Form1`.

## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Popup> event to determine whether <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects that provide support for cut, copy, and delete operations are enabled before the menu they are displayed in is shown. The example determines if `textBox1`, a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control on the form, is enabled, has input focus, and has text selected before enabling the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects. This example requires that three <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects are created named `menuCut`, `menuCopy`, and `menuDelete` have been created.

## Remarks  
 When the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OwnerDraw%2A> property is set to `true`, you need to handle all drawing of the menu item. You can use this capability to create your own special menu displays.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates a menu with an owner-drawn menu item. This example set the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OwnerDraw%2A> property and uses the `AddHandler` statement and the `AddressOf` operator to designate a delegate to handle the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.DrawItem> event. To run the example, paste it in a form that imports the <xref:System>, <xref:System.Windows.Forms>, and <xref:System.Drawing> namespaces. Call `InitializeMenu` from the form's constructor or `Load` method.

## Remarks  
 You can use this property to obtain the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Menu> object for a submenu. You can cast the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Menu> object returned by this property to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> object to manipulate it.
  
## Examples  
 In this example, you create a main menu and a top-level menu item, `menuItem1` (`File`). You also create two menu items, `menuItem2` (`New`) and `menuItem3` (`Open`), and add them to the menu item list of `menuItem1`. Then you check to see if `menuItem3` has got a parent menu, which is true, and display the information of this parent menu in message box. This example requires that you have created a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form> named `Form1`.

## Remarks  
 You can use this menu to activate a menu item through code without passing any event information. For example, if you want to activate a menu item based on an action that occurs in your application, you can call the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.PerformClick%2A> method for that <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem>.
  
## Examples  
 In this example you programmatically click a menu item by using the `PerformClick` method. First, you create a main menu (`mainMenu1`) and add to it two menu items, `menuItem1` (`File`) and `menuItem2` (`Edit`). You also use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event to send data to the event handler when a menu item is clicked. Then you use the `PerformClick` method to click the `File` menu item. When you start the application, the `File` menu item is activated, and a message box that contains the text "The File menu is clicked." appears on the screen. The example requires that you have created a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form> named `Form1`.

          <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[  
  
## Remarks  
 This event only occurs when a menu item has submenu items to display. You can use this event handler to add, remove, enable, disable, check, or uncheck menu items based on the state of your application before they are displayed. For more information about handling events, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Popup> event to determine whether <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects that provide support for cut, copy, and delete operations are enabled before the menu they are displayed in is shown. The example determines if `textBox1`, a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control on the form, is enabled, has input focus, and has text selected before enabling the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects. This example requires that three <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects are created named `menuCut`, `menuCopy`, and `menuDelete` have been created.

## Remarks  
 Check marks do not necessarily imply a mutually exclusive state for a group of menu items. You can use this property to indicate to the user that the check mark of a menu item is mutually exclusive.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example uses the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Checked%2A> property to change the state of an application. In the example, a group of menu items are provided that are used to specify the color for the text in an <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control. In the example, the event handler provided is used by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Click> event of the three menu items. Each menu item specifies a color, `menuItemRed`, `menuItemGreen`, or `menuItemBlue`. The event handler determines which menu item was clicked, places a checkmark to the selected menu item, and changes the text color of the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control, named `textBox1`. The example also uses the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.RadioCheck%2A> property to demonstrate how a radio-button check is used to show menu items that are mutually exclusive. This example requires that the <xref:System.Drawing?displayProperty=nameWithType> namespace has been added to the form that contains this code.

        <remarks>

## Remarks  
 This event is typically raised when the user places the mouse pointer over the menu item. The event can also be raised when the user highlights a menu item using the keyboard by scrolling to the menu item with the arrow keys. You can use this event to display a detailed help string pertaining to this menu item in an application's status bar. For more information about handling events, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).  
  
> [!NOTE]
> If the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Menu.MenuItems%2A> property for the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> contains any items, this event is not raised. This event is not raised for parent menu items.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.Select> event of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> class to assign help text to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanel> of a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar> control. This example requires that <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects named `menuOpen`, `menuSave`, and `menuExit` are added to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> control on a form. The example also requires that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar> control, named `statusBar1` has been added to the form. The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar> control should contain a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanel>.

## Remarks  
 You can use this property to provide the option for users to hide shortcuts from menus to conserve menu space or to hide a shortcut key from being displayed.

        <remarks>
          <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[  
  
## Remarks  
 When you specify a caption for your menu item, you can also specify an access key by placing an '&' before the character to be used as the access key. For example, to specify the "F" in "File" as an access key, you would specify the caption for the menu item as "&File". You can use this feature to provide keyboard navigation for your menus.  
  
 Setting this property to "`-`" causes your menu item to be displayed as a separator (a horizontal line) rather than a standard menu item.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a menu item, sets the caption, assigns a shortcut key, makes the menu item visible, and shows the shortcut key display for the menu item. The example requires that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> has been created that is named `menuItem1`.

## Remarks  
 You can use this property to modify a menu structure without having to merge menus or disable menus. For example, if you want to hide a complete section of functionality from the menus for your application, you can hide them from the user by setting this property to `false`.
  
## Examples  
 The following code example creates a menu item, sets the caption, assigns a shortcut key, makes the menu item visible, and shows the shortcut key display for the menu item. The example requires that a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> has been created that is named `menuItem1`.
