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.
Hi Mike
Thanks for the quick response.
From a previous post, I thought this was the case.
Has the merging of multiple child managers been feature-requested previously? If so, do you know when it will be available? If not, how do I go about requesting it?
In the meantime, do you have any examples of child manager merging that I could take a look at?
