Manual merging of toolbars
posted

Hello

I have an SDI application that loads plugins at runtime.  Each plugin has a toolbar manager containing tools that I wish to merge onto the main ribbon.

Is merging of the toolbar managers possible without the main form being an MDI container?

I am currently using Infragistics 7.2.

Regards

David

    Yes, this is possible. You must set MdiMergeable to False on both the parent and child toolbars managers. Then set the ActiveMdiChildManager of the parent manager to the child manager (or the MdiParentManager of the child to the parent). However, it sounds like you want to merge in multiple child managers into one parent, and unfortunately, this is not supported. You would have to do this manually by dynamically adding tools to the parent based on the loaded plugins.
