Save RibbonControl QuickAccessToolbar

[Kris Gandhi]

Hi, is it possible to save the items the user has added to their quick access toolbar on the ribbon control? Currently each time you start the application the quick access toolbar is empty and your previous configuration is lost.

Thanks

Hi Kris,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.

With the current implementation, I am afraid that it is not possible to persist the QuickAccessToolbar.

"Thanks for suggesting this valuable feature of "Add support to persist the QuickAccessToolbar in RibbonControlAdv" to enhance our product. We have logged it as a feature request and notified our development team. We will implement this feature in our forthcoming new version releases or service pack releases. We usually have a timeframe of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors like product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will get back to you once the feature is implemented."

Thanks for your patience.

Regards,
Rashidha.

Hi,

Thanks for responce.
Above attached vidio clip seems to work fine. But, in my side after clicking 'Save' button then while try to close the appliaction, it is raising an exception is called 'TargetInvokationException was unhandled', as shown in the attached screen shot.
How can avoid such exception?

Hi,

Toolbars are saving currectly when QAT placed at above the Ribbon, but if QAT placed at below the Ribbon every login to the application one bar item is missed from QAT for the below scenario.

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.ribbonControlAdv1.LoadState();
}
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
this.ribbonControlAdv1.SaveState();
}

Keep SaveState() in constuctor, LoadState() method in Form_closing event.
Eg: 3 baritems are saved, when login next time 2 baritem will be shown, again login next time 1 baritem will be shown and next login no bar item will be shown.
I am using 7.2.0.20

Thanks
-Raj
