Hi, possible I can get help here in following feature in telerik windows forms.
I need to know if this possible to do in telerik. When MDI child form is opened toolbar(RadToolStrip) from this form automatically merged to toolbar in MDI parent from. Also when you switching between few different MDI-child forms with different toolbars - in MDI parent form toolbars are changing in accordance.

Hi Alex,

Currently this feature is not built-in, but it is very easy to be implemented with our controls suite.  You could subscribe to the Layout event of the parent form, and then check if you have a child form maximized and if so, merge that child's toolstrip with your parent's one. 

I have attached a very simple project which demonstrates how to achieve that behavior.

If I could be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to write back.


Sincerely yours,

I just looked at the toolstrip merge c# project.  It does not work as I expected.

Must be asking the wrong question.

Be well,
Dave

Hi Telerik Team,

I have spent alot of time attempting to find a working example for a toolstrip MDI parent to MDI child.  I have two license for your product,  The example above does not work in VS2008.  Is there an upgraded example out there.

Be Well,
Dave

Hi David McCloskey,

Technically we do not support toolstrip merging in MDI applications, the sample project is an effort we made to provide some work-around and currently this is still the only work-around that we have. To start the project you have to delete the old Telerik reference and add the new ones. Then you have to go in the Designer.cs - should the project do not compile - and update the this.radCheckBoxElement2.CheckAligment to this.radCheckBoxElement2.CheckAlignment.

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
Nick
