The Menu Control

This control allows you to arrange the look and feel of applications menus and is also designed to work with the RFgen Menu and Roles objects in the Solution Explorer pane. Once you design details such as the menu arrangement style type, you can also visualize how it will look on a device when populated with all the menu items in the Menu Simulation section of Menus and Roles.

The Style property is used to select how you want the menu items arranged. The values are: (default), ButtonList, Buttons, IconList, Icons or Text.

The Image property is used to set the size and margin values for icons/image. Note that your icons resources are assigned to an application(s) in the Menu and Roles Solution Explorer.

The Items property provides a container and the shape of the menu object (i.e. If you selected the "Panel" as your Style, then you set the panel look and feel under Items.

The TextOptions property group - sets the values for the FontSize and FontStyle. The sizing of the icon names (captions) and icons in a button/tile are affected by the margin, ScalePoint, and ScaleText. The Margin is the distance between text and the edge of the icon container. ScalePoints reduces the size of the text by the factor supplied. For example ScalePoint 0 or 1 sets the text default size; 2 makes the text 2 times smaller then the icon size. ScaleText, if set to True enables scaling of text; False prevents it from being scaled (reduced).

All the other properties have a similar usage as the properties in the other graphical controls.
