Overview

Actipro Bars includes a standalone toolbar control that has many features beyond what the native ToolBar control offers.

Standalone Toolbars

The StandaloneToolBar control is meant to be a replacement for a native ToolBar control. It supports horizontal and vertical orientation, can make use of all the Bars controls and their features (including menu galleries), and overflows items to a popup. As with the other root bar controls, it can be fully configured via MVVM.

Mini-Toolbars

The MiniToolBar control is intended for display in a popup, providing a compact set of controls that can alter the current selection or state of a target control. Any toolbar controls, including popup buttons with galleries, can be used on the mini-toolbar.
