Public Overridable Property AnchorElement As ContextItem

A ContextItem relative to which the current item is aligned.

Instead of aligning the current item relative to the owner control (see ContextItem.AlignmentOptions), you can align it relative to another item—anchor element. Use the AnchorElement property to specify the item relative to which the current item is aligned.
To specify the alignment relative to the anchor element, use the ContextItem.AnchorAlignment property.
