Moving Bar

[Administrator]

I''ve got an XPMenus "Bar" (unsing MainFrameBarManager/ChildFrameBarManager).
I need to indent it. So, instead of the bar starting at X=0, I want it to start further to the right.

[This is for a demo very soon, so any help is appreciated; I''m willing to subclass and hack...]

Thank you very much,
Dan

Hi Dan,

To create a gap between the start of a Bar and the first BarItem, you should use a StaticBarItem. By placing a StaticBarItem as the first item on the Bar, you can push the first actual item to the right. A long string of spaces would normally be sufficient. However, MainFrameBarManager compresses a large number of spaces, so you''ll need to include a tab on the end of the string. The following statement will do this for you.

this.staticBarItem1.Text = " \t";

Hi Dan,

If you wish to set an offset to the XPMenus.Bar, you could do so as by using the CommandBar''s RowOffSet property as shown below :

CommandBar cmdbar1 = this.mainFrameBarManager1.GetBarControl(this.bar1);

// Set any desired offset
cmdbar1.RowOffset = 150;

Please let me know if this meets your requirements. We appreciate your interest in Syncfusion products.

Yes, thank you. It might be nice to be able to set a global offset for the bar. Doing this timetimes re-arranges things if you have multiple bars on the toolbar.

Thanks,
Dan
