Toolbar for WPF and Silverlight allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of Toolbar for WPF and Silverlight by taking advantage of the following key features:
- Tabs and Groups
Organize related commands together using tabs and groups. For example, group similar toolbar buttons such as those relating to the Font or the Clipboard. You can label each tab and group to best describe the commands within and the actions they perform.
For more information see Toolbar Elements.
- Ribbon-like Features
C1Toolbar has built-in Microsoft Ribbon-like features including collapse, help and dialog launcher buttons.
- Lightweight ToolbarStrip
Create a lightweight C1ToolbarStrip that can be used separately, for simple scenarios.
- Styled Buttons and Drop-downs
The C1Toolbar control is a container that supports any UIElements. To make toolbar creation easy, C1Toolbar includes several types of controls to place inside C1ToolbarStrip, including buttons, toggle buttons, separators and drop-down controls. Attach event handlers or take advantage of the commanding framework to add behavior to each control. For more information see Toolbar Elements.
- WPF Command Framework Support
Toolbar supports the WPF command framework. Create single commands each including a title, small and large image source and share them throughout your toolbars.
For more information see Commanding Tutorial with C1Toolbar.
- OverFlow Support
Depending on the available space in the Strip panel, the items will jump between the Strip panel and drop-down Overflow panel. This occurs automatically by default, but can be set to occur never, always, or as needed.
- Change the Orientation
Select from horizontal (default) or vertical orientations for your toolbar. For more information see Toolbar Layout.
- Supports ClearStyle Technology
C1Toolbar supports ComponentOne's ClearStyle technology, which allows you to easily change control colors without having to change control templates. By setting a few color properties, you can quickly style the C1Toolbar elements. See Toolbar ClearStyle Properties for more information on the ClearStyle technology.
