Hide/Remove Add or Remove Buttons

[Taylor]

How do you remove/hide the Add or Remove Buttons/Customize item from the commandbar/strips? I didn't the Add or Remove Programs Button directly mentioned or named in the documentation so I am not sure if I am overlooking it.

[Taylor]

Nm, I found it as an element in the stripElement Children collection.

Hi Taylor,

You can remove the overflow button by setting its Visibility property. Here is a sample code that hides this button from one of the RadCommandBar strips:

commandBarStripElement1.OverflowButton.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

I am having a similar issue in my application.  Every time I set the Add/Remove button or Customize buttons to not be visible or delete them they get re-created.  How do I disable or remove these buttons from my command bar?

Hello Kyle,

Once you use the code that I have provided for hiding the OverflowButton unless the visibility it changed, it should remain invisible. If this is not the case on your end, please get back to me with a sample where the issue can be reproduced, together with the exact steps that I need to follow in order to replicate it. I will investigate the reasons causing it and provide you with further support.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

With Respect to the above problem, 
it can be made invisible but i have a window which can be re sized. In that case, on overflow cases, i want to view these fields (Expectation as shown in Image 1). 
But when overflow is not there, it should hide that button but is shows an empty dropdown menu. (Expectation as shown in Image 2).

Any idea how to resolve these issues?

Hello Suhas,

Thank you for writing.

If I understand correctly, you want to show the overflow button only when needed and hide it if not needed. If so, you can use the ItemOverflowed and ItemOutOfOverflow events of CommandBarStripElement to do this. Here is a small sample:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);

    AddCommandBar();
    radCommandBar1.Rows[0].Strips[0].ItemOverflowed += Form1_ItemOverflowed;
    radCommandBar1.Rows[0].Strips[0].ItemOutOfOverflow += Form1_ItemOutOfOverflow;
}

void Form1_ItemOutOfOverflow(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!radCommandBar1.Rows[0].Strips[0].HasOverflowedItems)
    {
        radCommandBar1.Rows[0].Strips[0].OverflowButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
    }
}

void Form1_ItemOverflowed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radCommandBar1.Rows[0].Strips[0].OverflowButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
}

I hope this helps.

Hello Manoj,

Thank you for writing.  

Each CommandBarStripElement has its own Overflow button. This button has a drop down, which contains "Add or Remove Buttons" menu item, "Customize..." menu item and RadMenuSeparatorItems items. You can add your own items in the "Add or Remove Buttons" menu item which performs the desired logic. Here is a sample code snippet demonstrating how to add a button and handle its Click event:

private void RadForm1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.commandBarStripElement1.OverflowButton.AddRemoveButtonsMenuItem.DropDownOpened += AddRemoveButtonsMenuItem_DropDownOpened;
}

private void AddRemoveButtonsMenuItem_DropDownOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadMenuItem parentItem = sender as RadMenuItem;
    if (parentItem != null)
    {
        RadMenuItem myItem = new RadMenuItem();
        myItem.Text = "My Item";
        myItem.Click += myItem_Click;
        parentItem.Items.Add(myItem);
    }
}

private void myItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("My Item is clicked");
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
