How to: Create a ToolBar

This example shows how to create ToolBar controls in Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and C#. The examples illustrate ToolBar controls that are contained in ToolBarTray controls and are positioned in the tray using the Band and BandIndex properties.

Example

<ToolBarTray Background="White">
    <ToolBar Band="1" BandIndex="1">
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\new.bmp" /></Button>
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\open.bmp" /></Button>
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\save.bmp" /></Button>
        <Separator/>
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\cut.bmp" /></Button>
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\copy.bmp" /></Button>
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\paste.bmp" /></Button>
        <Separator/>
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\print.bmp" /></Button>
        <Button><Image Source="toolbargraphics\preview.bmp" /></Button>
   </ToolBar>
</ToolBarTray>

For the complete sample see Toolbar Sample.

tbartray = new ToolBarTray();
tbar = new ToolBar();
btn = new Button();
btn.Content = "File";
tbar.Items.Add(btn);
btn1 = new Button();
btn1.Content = "Edit";
tbar.Items.Add(btn1);
tbar1 = new ToolBar();
btn2 = new Button();
btn2.Content = "Format";
tbar1.Items.Add(btn2);
btn3 = new Button();
btn3.Content = "View";
tbar1.Items.Add(btn3);
btn4 = new Button();
btn4.Content = "Help";
tbar1.Items.Add(btn4);
tbartray.ToolBars.Add(tbar);
tbartray.ToolBars.Add(tbar1);
spanel2.Children.Add(tbartray);
