Hi Andreas,
As you rightly pointed out SaveBarState/LoadBarState only save/restore positional and size related information of the toolbars and not their customization information. You could use the MainFrameBarManager''s SaveCustomizationInfo/LoadCustomizationInfo to serialize customizaton information, but they are protected methods and cannot be accessed directly. So you would have to derive from the MainFrameBarManager to create a CustomMainFrameBarManager and then access these methods as shown in the code below :
public class CustomMainFrameBarManager : MainFrameBarManager
{
public CustomMainFrameBarManager () : base() {}
public CustomMainFrameBarManager(Form f): base(f) {}
public CustomMainFrameBarManager(IContainer c,Form f): base(c, f) {}
public void LoadBarCustomization(AppStateSerializer serializer)
{
this.LoadCustomizationInfo(serializer);
}
public void SaveBarCustomization(AppStateSerializer serializer)
{
this.SaveCustomizationInfo(serializer);
}
}
Apart from the SaveBarState/LoadBarState, SaveBarCustomization/LoadBarCustomization methods too need to be called to correctly save/restore the positional, size and customization information. Here is how the new SaveToolbarState/LoadToolbarState blocks will look like :
public void SaveToolbarState(CustomMainFrameBarManager toolbar, String filename)
{
AppStateSerializer serialize = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.BinaryFile, filename);
toolbar.SaveBarCustomization(serialize);
toolbar.SaveBarState(serialize);
serialize.PersistNow();
}
public void LoadToolbarState(CustomMainFrameBarManager toolbar, String filename)
{
AppStateSerializer serialize = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.BinaryFile,filename);
toolbar.LoadBarCustomization(serialize);
toolbar.LoadBarState(serialize);
}
A
test sample that illustrates the same is attached here. Please refer to it and let me know if this meets your requirements. Thanks for your continued interest in Syncfusion produtcs.
