    I am converting a rad toolstrip to the new command bar, but I don't see the AllowDragging property which used to allow me to re-arrange the order of items in the toolstrip.  How do I do this now?
    Thanks

    Hello Stephen,

    Are you referring to the actual CommandBarButtonItems and the like? If so then I beleive you should use:
    Me.CommandBarButton1.AllowDrag = True

    For reference, this property is not visible in the designer.
    Hope this helps
    Richard

    Hello Stephen,

    Thank you for writing.

    RadCommandBar supports rearranging at CommandBarStripElement level in runtime. You can enable or disable dragging at CommandBarStripElement level by setting the EnableDragging property, for example:

    commandBarStripElement1.EnableDragging = true;

    RadCommandBar does not support rearranging items in runtime - this is possible only via CommandBar Customize Dialog, which will be available in the upcoming SP release.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks Richard and Peter.  What I wanted to do was re-arrange the order of the buttons (elements) within the strip, so I guess based on Peter's response I am out of luck until the new SP is released.  (or build my own of course).

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Stephen,

    Thank you for writing back.

    I want to clarify that the Customize Dialog will rearrange items only in runtime and this rearrangement will not be serialized.

    Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

    All the best,
