MenuBar

public MenuBar();

Creates a bar: PreferGlobalMenu = true, SwitchOnHover = true, Flat = false, StartIndex = -1, empty Language, TextDirection.Auto. FocusMode = Accessibility; child PopupMenus supply headings.

public bool Flat { get; set; }

Skip state-style drawing for local headings, default false. Text and theme sizing margins remain; does not change native-menu styling.

public string Language { get; set; }

Heading shaping language; empty uses the control locale. Does not change original strings/application locale. Reapply headings through SetMenuTitle for immediate dynamic refresh.

public bool PreferGlobalMenu { get; set; }

Prefer the native menu bar, default true. Requires NativeMenu support; check IsNativeMenu. false keeps the bar in the window. Not the actual-mode indicator.

public int StartIndex { get; set; }

MenuBar placement order in the native bar, default -1 appends. Does not reindex child PopupMenus or assign a command ID. Does not change local indices in in-window mode.

public bool SwitchOnHover { get; set; }

Switch between headings while a menu is open, default true. Configure before opening; ordinary hover over a closed bar does not itself open menus.

public Control.TextDirection TextDirection { get; set; }

Shaping direction, default Auto; Inherited uses layout direction. Does not reverse original strings. Reapply headings to refresh shaping after a dynamic change.

public string GetLanguage();

Heading shaping language; empty uses the control locale. Does not change original strings/application locale. Reapply headings through SetMenuTitle for immediate dynamic refresh.

public int GetMenuCount();

Number of direct child PopupMenus, including hidden/disabled; not the number of commands inside them.

public PopupMenu GetMenuPopup(int menu);

Returns the shared child PopupMenu at the current index, null for missing/negative indices. Does not copy or open it.

public string GetMenuTitle(int menu);

Original heading caption. Not a stable ID and can differ from PopupMenu.Title or its displayed translation.

public string GetMenuTooltip(int menu);

Stored heading tooltip rather than current tooltip visibility.

public int GetStartIndex();

MenuBar placement order in the native bar, default -1 appends. Does not reindex child PopupMenus or assign a command ID. Does not change local indices in in-window mode.

public Control.TextDirection GetTextDirection();

Shaping direction, default Auto; Inherited uses layout direction. Does not reverse original strings. Reapply headings to refresh shaping after a dynamic change.

public bool IsFlat();

Skip state-style drawing for local headings, default false. Text and theme sizing margins remain; does not change native-menu styling.

public bool IsMenuDisabled(int menu);

Heading disabled flag, separate from disabled states of its commands.

public bool IsMenuHidden(int menu);

Heading hidden flag rather than PopupMenu window Visible state.

public bool IsNativeMenu();

Returns whether native mode is supported and enabled for this bar. Disabled for the edited scene. Not equivalent to PreferGlobalMenu.

public bool IsPreferGlobalMenu();

Prefer the native menu bar, default true. Requires NativeMenu support; check IsNativeMenu. false keeps the bar in the window. Not the actual-mode indicator.

public bool IsSwitchOnHover();

Switch between headings while a menu is open, default true. Configure before opening; ordinary hover over a closed bar does not itself open menus.

public void SetDisableShortcuts(bool disabled);

Disables local MenuBar shortcut handling. Does not block direct PopupMenu actions or globally disable input/native menus. This SDK supplies no getter.

public void SetFlat(bool enabled);

Skip state-style drawing for local headings, default false. Text and theme sizing margins remain; does not change native-menu styling.

public void SetLanguage(string language);

Heading shaping language; empty uses the control locale. Does not change original strings/application locale. Reapply headings through SetMenuTitle for immediate dynamic refresh.

public void SetMenuDisabled(int menu, bool disabled);

Disables the heading for ordinary input and the local shortcut route. Record/index/child PopupMenu remain. Does not block calling an application command handler from code.

public void SetMenuHidden(int menu, bool hidden);

Hides the heading without removing PopupMenu or changing GetMenuCount. Does not prevent direct access to the menu object.

public void SetMenuTitle(int menu, string title);

Sets the heading caption without changing PopupMenu.Title/Name. Matching current source Title/Name restores automatic tracking. Reassignment refreshes shaping.

public void SetMenuTooltip(int menu, string tooltip);

Sets a separate bar-heading tooltip. Does not change tooltips of commands inside PopupMenu.

public void SetPreferGlobalMenu(bool enabled);

Prefer the native menu bar, default true. Requires NativeMenu support; check IsNativeMenu. false keeps the bar in the window. Not the actual-mode indicator.

MenuBar placement order in the native bar, default -1 appends. Does not reindex child PopupMenus or assign a command ID. Does not change local indices in in-window mode.

public void SetSwitchOnHover(bool enable);

Switch between headings while a menu is open, default true. Configure before opening; ordinary hover over a closed bar does not itself open menus.

public void SetTextDirection(Control.TextDirection direction);

Shaping direction, default Auto; Inherited uses layout direction. Does not reverse original strings. Reapply headings to refresh shaping after a dynamic change.
