### Description

The MenuItem class provides a method to build a menu strip with the most common TX Spell .NET features. An array of these items is created by calling the [TXSpellChecker.GetMenuItems](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf-proofing/txspellchecker/getmenuitems-method/llms-full.txt) method. [Clicking a MenuItem](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf-proofing/txspellchecker/menuitemclicked-event/llms-full.txt) results in a specific action that depends on the [WPF.Proofing.MenuItem.Type](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf-proofing/menuitem/type-property/llms-full.txt) property. The class is inherited from the `System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem` class.

### Syntax

```csharp
public class MenuItem : System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem
```

```vbnet
Public Class MenuItem
    Inherits System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem
```

### Examples

The following example includes the type value from a Menu Item object in application diagnostics. The created object is then available to the surrounding document workflow.

```csharp
Console.WriteLine($"Type: {menuItem.Type}");
Console.WriteLine("Menu Item is ready for use.");
```

```vbnet
Console.WriteLine($"Type: {menuItem.Type}")
Console.WriteLine("Menu Item is ready for use.")
```
