Summary:
Microsoft Visual Basic contains an undocumented property for menu
items that toggle between the caption and a separator bar. (A
separator bar in a menu is a horizontal line that separates menu item
groups from one another.) The Separator property is not documented in
Visual Basic's manuals or online Help, and may be removed from future
versions.
You should not use the Separator property in your Visual Basic
applications because it may be removed from future versions of the
Visual Basic language.
Microsoft did not intend to leave the Separator property in the Visual
Basic product. Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in
Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
More Information:
Separator Property (Applies to Menu Items)
------------------------------------------
Description: Denotes if a menu item is a separator bar. Prevents
or allows the value of the Caption property of the
menu item to be displayed versus a separator bar.
Usage: [form.][menuitem.]Separator[= boolean%]
Remarks: The Separator property settings are as follows:
Setting Description
------- -----------
True (-1) Disables the display of the value of
the Caption property as the menu item.
Instead, a separator bar is displayed.
False (0) (Default) for all other menu items.
The menu item will display the value
of the Caption property for that item.
When a menu item is created in the menu design window,
the value of its separator property defaults to 0 unless
the caption of that menu item is set to "-", then the
Separator property defaults to -1 and a separator bar
is displayed for that item in the menu instead of the
value of the Caption property.
