Adding items to the quick access toolbar overflow item

[Gabriele Svelto]

I was looking for a way of adding a few custom items to the quick access toolbar overflow button. I tried adding items to the drop-down either in this way:

class CustomRibbonBar : RadRibbonBar
    public CustomRibbonBar()
    {
        // ...
        this.RibbonBarElement.QuickAccessToolbar.OverflowButtonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("test"));
        // ...
    }
}

And in this way:

class CustomRibbonBar : RadRibbonBar
    public CustomRibbonBar()
    {
        // ...
        this.RibbonBarElement.QuickAccessToolbar.OverflowButtonElement.DropDownMenu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("test"));
        // ...
    }
}

In both cases however it seems that my controls are ignored and the overflow button shows only the default items.

Looking around the forum I found this thread:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/ribbonbar/adding-items-to-quick-access-toolbar-overlow-menu.aspx#822537

which mentioned that this functionality would be added in a future revision. Was this functionality effectively added? If so I am using the wrong way of adding items to that particular button? I am using Telerik version 2010.1.10.308 FYI.

Hi Gabriele Svelto,

Thanks for writing.

This functionality is available as of Q1 2010 SP2. You should use the SetItemVisibility method of the RadQuickAccessToolbar to initially hide an item (which will put it in the overflow menu).

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
