menu_item() [13/26]

xtd::forms::menu_item::menu_item	(	const xtd::ustring &	text,
		const xtd::drawing::image &	image,
		xtd::forms::menu_item_kind	kind,
		bool	checked,
		xtd::forms::shortcut	shortcut
	)

Initializes a new instance of the class with a specified caption, image menu item, kind the menu item, checked, and associated shortcut key for the menu item.

Parameters

text	The caption for the menu item.
image	A xtd::drawing::image menu item.
kind	One of the xtd::forms::menu_item_kind value.
checked	true if there is a check mark next to the menu item; otherwise, false. The default is false.
shortcut	One of the xtd::forms::shortcut values.

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.
