I am using 2007 Vol1
Sometimes when a toolbar is shrunk down it shows a double arrow that when highlighted says "Toolbar Options" and shows the toolbar's menu controls that are not currently able to be seen due the toolbars smaller than needed size (if you have multiple toolbars that have been shrunk, their menu controls will show here too). Is there a way to find out: 1) is this "Toolbar Options" shown a specific toolbar, 2) which menu controls are in this Toolbar Options area?
Oh, any what is this actually called?
Internally, the tools in this overflow area are considered 'bumped', so that is referred to as the 'bumped tools toolbar.' However, I don't believe this is exposed publicly. You can try to determine which tools are bumped by getting the VisibleResolved of the tool. If you know the tool should be visible, but VisibleResolved returns False, chances are the tool is bumped from the toolbar.
Thanks for the info. One other question related to this: Is there a way to prevent tools from getting bumped, but rather force the toolbar to move to the next line? We have multiple toolbars showing and the users get a little confused by the "bumped" dropdown.
Unfortunately, regular toolbars cannot prevent toolbars from being bumped. A main menu bar will not bump tools. It will wrap them around to the next row. You can make a toolbar a main menu bar by setting IsMainMenuBar to True. However, you can only have one of these per toolbars manager. You can put large toolbars on their own rows to reduce the possibility that tools will be bumped. And you can also change your implementation to use the ribbon rather than toolbars, which will automaticaly resize tools to make room as the application window is sized smaller.
