Sorting toolbar names in the main menu right click popup menu

[Administrator]

Hi,

We have lot (15+) of XPToolbars in our application. When I right click on my menubar, the toolbar list comes up. But they are not sorted in any order. The samething happens in my View->Toolbars menu item (ToolbarListBarItem).

Could these toolbar names be sorted ascending order?

thanks,

Hi Reddy
Well, this will be added to our Known Issues Database as a "Feature Request". I will follow up with you as soon as I have more information on this.

Hi, Reddy --

In case you haven't discovered this workaround on your own...

We had a lot of toolbars, also. I was adding them before I had fully thought out how I wanted them displayed for the end user when he/she customizes the application.

So I was able to solve the problem by manually adjusting the order in which they were added to the controls in the InitializeComponent method. Until we can do that in the visual editor, this is a quick and relatively painless workaround.

Cheers,
Anthony

Hi,

Is there any word on this feature.

How can we set our own (not necessarily sorted) order of the items in the right click menu (i.e. toolbar list)?

thanks,

Hi Reddy,

This feature is still in the development stage. I am afraid, currently all our resources are focussed on the upcoming Essential Suite 2.0 beta release, and there might not be much progress in this regard. However, after the 2.0 release we will try our very best to implement this at the earliest and incorporate it in our future releases. We appreciate your patience and understanding on this issue.

Hi Reddy,

This feature has now been implemented internally and is expected to be included in the next build of Essential Suite. The following property was added for this purpose :

/* Specifies the merge order for the corresponding menu item in the toolbar list popup menu */

[DefaultValue(0)]
[Category("Behavior")]
[Description("Specifies the merge order for the corresponding menu item in the toolbar list popup menu.")]

public virtual int MenuItemMergeOrder
{
....
}
