Usage

First, create commands, as described above in the "Commands" section. Then declare menus, menu item groups, and menu items. This is how the built-in File menu and menu items are declared; you can create your own menus in the same way.

public static class MenuDefinitions
{
    [Export]
    public static MenuDefinition FileMenu = new MenuDefinition(MainMenuBar, 0, Resources.FileMenuText);
	
	[Export]
    public static MenuItemGroupDefinition FileNewOpenMenuGroup = new MenuItemGroupDefinition(FileMenu, 0);
	
	[Export]
    public static MenuItemDefinition FileNewMenuItem = new TextMenuItemDefinition(
        MenuDefinitions.FileNewOpenMenuGroup, 0, "_New");
}

You can either use an existing menu or menu item group as a parent for your menu items, or create your own.

To remove an existing menu item (such as a built-in menu item that you don't want), you can exclude it declaratively:

[Export]
public static ExcludeMenuItemDefinition ExcludeOpenMenuItem = new ExcludeMenuItemDefinition(Gemini.Modules.Shell.MenuDefinitions.FileOpenMenuItem);

[Export]
public static ExcludeMenuItemGroupDefinition ExcludeWindowMenuItemGroup = new ExcludeMenuItemGroupDefinition(Gemini.Modules.MainMenu.MenuDefinitions.ViewToolsMenuGroup);

[Export]
public static ExcludeMenuDefinition ExcludeWindowMenuDefinition = new ExcludeMenuDefinition(Gemini.Modules.MainMenu.MenuDefinitions.WindowMenu);
