Hi All,

As we have seen the customize toolbar windows in almost all windows programs
(Please right click on the toolbar portion in Microsoft Word and click on
customize).

I would like to add that to my application.

Can someone please guide me how will I do this in visual c#.NET?

Thanks for your time.

The standard toolbars in .NET 1.1 don't support this functionality. There
are many, many third-party controls that will do this for you. I personally
like DevExpress, but they're a bit pricey.
 
Anand,

.NET 1.1 and before doesn't really have anything like that which you can
use. There might be third party libraries that do this, but you will most
likely have to pay for them (I think the Magic library supported this, I am
not sure).

In .NET 2.0, however, there is a new toolstrip control which you can use
which I believe has this functionality. I would look in the
System.Windows.Forms namespace for the ToolStrip class.

Hope this helps.
