You could try... 2021-09-10T20:04:12Z 62859322-dec6-40ac-8a2d-0db0858ecfb3-119621 I have 2 toolbars, each has a BarComboBox.

In my scenario the command links don't have any nested tags. 2016-10-05T05:59:49Z 3d73bab9-5b4f-46ea-8478-02104beecbb9-112802 Hi Tobias, All three places ValidateCommandName is called seem to be called the same way. But after examining it again, I wonder if we need to handle scenarios where there could be nested tags w... 2016-10-04T18:50:52Z 3d73bab9-5b4f-46ea-8478-02104beecbb9-112799 Correct, thats what I did. That solved this particulary issue. However I suppose you have more insights on whether or not there are other use cases. The method ValidateCommandName() is used in four... 2016-10-04T06:21:50Z 3d73bab9-5b4f-46ea-8478-02104beecbb9-112786 Hi Tobias, Good find... since we call a "reader.Skip()" in that ValidateCommandName, it's reading an extra XML element that it shouldn't be. To confirm with you, you just commented out that part... 2016-09-30T17:52:57Z 3d73bab9-5b4f-46ea-8478-02104beecbb9-112785 Hi, we stumbled upon a problem of the toolbar layout serialization. It took me a while to figure it out. Since we have the source code, we don't need a new build from you. I just wanted to let yo... 2016-09-30T08:26:58Z c58e556b-9285-44a3-b32d-74b6abe90b6d-112493 Ok, good tip. I'll give that a try.

That type has ... 2016-08-01T13:28:20Z c58e556b-9285-44a3-b32d-74b6abe90b6d-112479 I am trying to programmatically add new child items (and links) to my top-level PopupButtonCommand Menu item.

In additi... 2013-01-04T07:32:31Z 55aa28c8-2169-4451-8f48-73389b781d55-102815 I have a UserControl which contains a BarManager and a Menu Bar with several commands.

Can this be considered in a future release as a feature request? 2012-11-16T11:06:19Z 5b89daf5-b372-4d78-8127-8fb362553d79-102313 Hi Kevin, I'm sorry but it doesn't appear like there are any options to prevent the Add or Remove Buttons option from showing on those overflow popups. 2012-11-16T11:03:06Z 5b89daf5-b372-4d78-8127-8fb362553d79-102312 We are trying to replicate the toolbar overflow functionality seen in Visual Studio 2008 when a tool window causes the toolbar to overflow.

Thanks, we've fixed this for the next maintenance release. 2010-02-16T14:35:17Z a635c04a-1571-4772-b79a-0bd162c2ec5f-17024 Any info on that? 2010-02-16T05:19:59Z a635c04a-1571-4772-b79a-0bd162c2ec5f-16818 Hi Toolbar with text items can be incorrectly displayed if it was moved to the right side of the window.
