Examples

The following code example shows how to handle the UpdateItemStatus event to update MenuAction objects with values from the primary selection. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Menu Provider.

' The following method handles the UpdateItemStatus event.
' It sets the MenuAction states according to the state
' of the control's Background property. This method is
' called before the context menu is shown.
Sub CustomContextMenuProvider_UpdateItemStatus( _
    ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As MenuActionEventArgs)

    ' Turn everything on, and then based on the value 
    ' of the BackgroundProperty, selectively turn some off.
    clearBackgroundMenuAction.Checked = False
    clearBackgroundMenuAction.Enabled = True
    setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Checked = False
    setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Enabled = True

    ' Get a ModelItem which represents the selected control. 
    Dim selectedControl As ModelItem = _
        e.Selection.PrimarySelection

    ' Get the value of the Background property from the ModelItem.
    Dim backgroundProperty As ModelProperty = _
        selectedControl.Properties("Background")

    ' Set the MenuAction items appropriately.
    If Not backgroundProperty.IsSet Then
        clearBackgroundMenuAction.Checked = True
        clearBackgroundMenuAction.Enabled = False
    ElseIf backgroundProperty.ComputedValue.Equals(Brushes.Blue) Then
        setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Checked = True
        setBackgroundToBlueMenuAction.Enabled = False
    End If

End Sub
