Provides access to members that control ToolbarControl menu items. Note: the IToolbarMenu interface has been superseded by IToolbarMenu2. Please consider using the more recent version.
A ToolbarMenu supplies the implementation of a menu item that can host Command, Tool, ToolControl, MultiItem and ToolbarPalette objetcs. A ToolbarMenu can either be hosted on the ToolbarControl or can appear as a popup menu.
A ToolbarMenu can be built in two ways. Firstly, an object implementing IMenuDef can be passed to the IToolbarControl::AddItem or IToolbarControl::AddMenuItem method which creates a ToolbarMenu object and populates it from the menu definition. Secondly, the properties and methods on the IToolbarMenu interface can be used to build a menu. Any sub menus on a ToolbarMenu are implemented as another instance of a IToolbarMenu.

ToolbarMenu | A menu containing commands that can be used from a ToolbarControl or as a popup menu. |
ToolbarMenu items support accelerator (shortcut) and access keys, defined in the ICommand::Caption property. For example, a 'Close' command with the caption "&Close\tAlt+F4" has the 'ALT+F4' key combination as its shortcut key, and the 'C' key as its access key. Although a shortcut key will always work, an access key will only work when the ToolbarMenu is active.
