Overview
The CommandBar control in the Telerik UI for WinForms suite is a flexible component for implementation of tool and button strips, needed in most Windows applications. Its powerful customization capabilities and rich collection of toolbar items enable you to craft every button on the toolbar independently to either display text, images or both. The product also supports multiple rows and strips, docking, floating, overflowing items, save/load layout functionality and much more.-(1)-(1)-(1).png?sfvrsn=95bd4ba0_6)
