MenuTextBlock

Description

This control is part of iWebKit, which has been deprecated.

The Menu control is used to give the user a choice what action to take next. Each item can have a description.

You supply it with a list of items, and it will create one choice for each item. When the menu is first displayed, you need to call Controlname.refresh().

To add a Menu to your app, choose the MenuTextBlock icon in the Toolbar. Use the Property Editor to set the properties.
