Overview

The Menus and Toolbars for WinForms suite of components allow you to add nice-looking menus and docking/floating toolbars to your Windows Forms applications. Useful features of the suite go beyond just looks though. Some highlights include:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio/Office XP and Office 2007/2010 look and feel.
  • Close integration between menus and toolbars; the same command item (text, image, event handling code) can be used in several menus and/or toolbars at the same time.
  • Full design-time support integrated into the Visual Studio forms designer.
  • Docking/floating behavior, with layout that can be easily made end-user customizable.
  • Global key shortcuts, usable also for commands not present in any menus or toolbars.
  • Special support for MDI applications, including built-in MDI child windows list and hierarchical shortcut key processing.
  • Idle-time automatic update of menu/toolbar items’ state.
  • Context menus that can be attached to arbitrary controls on the form.
  • And more.
