Popup Menu extension

Description

This sample shows how to build a customized pop-up menu page that provides options when they're needed. The pop-up menu can be seen as equivalent to a context menu on win32 forms. A typical example is the pop-up menu that appears when you tap a feature from a search result and can then view the selected feature's attributes, browse to it on the map, add it to the work list, and so on. This sample appends a Navigate option to the following three pages in the application:

• Feature List
• Identify Results
• Search Results

Note:

This sample demonstrates how to customize a pop-up menu item' it does not implement the navigate function for the selected feature.
