What I want to archieve is to nest a 3rd party toolbar in the commandbar strip. Can anyone advice whether this is possbile? Thanks.

Hi Yip,

Thank you for this question.

You should first wrap the user control inside RadHostItem and after that you will be able to add it into CommandBarHostItem. Please consider the following code snippet:

UserControl myControl= new UserControl ();

RadHostItem hostedButton = new RadHostItem(myControl);

hostedButton.MinSize = new Size(60, 20);//this line set the size 

this.commandBarHostItem1.HostedItem = hostedButton;


I hope this helps.Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Kind regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Your solution works. The only change I have made is
hostedButton.MinSize = myControl.Size;
The hostedButton will be automatically assigned the size of usercontrol.
