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 choose to view the selected feature's attributes, browse to it on the map, add it to the work list, or do something else. This sample appends a Navigate option to three pages in the application: Feature List page, Identify Results page, and Search Results page.
Note that this sample aims to demonstrate how to customize a pop-up menu item, not implement the navigate function for the selected feature.
