Remarks

The Value property is used to supplement the Text property by storing any additional data associated with the menu item. This value is not displayed in the control and is commonly used to store data for handling postback events.

Note

If the Value property contains null, the get accessor returns the value of the Text property. If the Text property, in turn, contains null, Empty is returned.

The value of the Value property is also used when the value path specified in the ValuePath property is generated. A value path is a delimiter-separated list of menu item values that forms a path from the root menu item to the current menu item. The value path is used to indicate the position of a menu item in a Menu control.

Note

Menu items at the same menu level must each have a unique value for the Value property; the Menu control cannot distinguish between different menu items at the same level that have the same value.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
