Remarks

This property can be used to insert text to format static menu items in a menu. This is particularly useful for mobile devices. The Menu control supports templates for the display of static and dynamic menu items, but templates are ignored on mobile devices. This property allows you to add characters or text and to apply formatting to menu items for both mobile and desktop devices without using a template.

Note

To achieve consistent formatting when you use this property, you should also set the DynamicItemFormatString property if you want the formatting to be identical between the static and dynamic menu items.

If both template formatting and this property are applied, the template formatting is ignored for mobile devices.
