**Toolbar for WPF and Silverlight** allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of **Toolbar for WPF and Silverlight** by taking advantage of the following key features:

*   **Tabs and Groups**<br />Organize related commands together using tabs and groups. For example, group similar toolbar buttons such as those relating to the Font or the Clipboard. You can label each tab and group to best describe the commands within and the actions they perform.<br />For more information see [Toolbar Elements](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-toolbar/Toolbar_Elements).
*   **Ribbon-like Features**<br />**C1Toolbar** has built-in Microsoft Ribbon-like features including collapse, help and dialog launcher buttons.
*   **Lightweight ToolbarStrip**<br />Create a lightweight [C1ToolbarStrip](/componentone/api/wpf/online-toolbar/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Toolbar.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Toolbar.C1ToolbarStrip.html) that can be used separately, for simple scenarios.
*   **Styled Buttons and Drop-downs**<br />The **C1Toolbar** control is a container that supports any UIElements. To make toolbar creation easy, **C1Toolbar** includes several types of controls to place inside **C1ToolbarStrip**, including buttons, toggle buttons, separators and drop-down controls. Attach event handlers or take advantage of the commanding framework to add behavior to each control. For more information see [Toolbar Elements](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-toolbar/Toolbar_Elements).
*   **WPF Command Framework Support**<br />Toolbar supports the WPF command framework. Create single commands each including a title, small and large image source and share them throughout your toolbars.<br />For more information see [Commanding Tutorial with C1Toolbar](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-toolbar/Command).
*   **OverFlow Support**<br />Depending on the available space in the Strip panel, the items will jump between the Strip panel and drop-down Overflow panel. This occurs automatically by default, but can be set to occur never, always, or as needed.
*   **Change the Orientation**<br />Select from horizontal (default) or vertical orientations for your toolbar. For more information see [Toolbar Layout](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-toolbar/C1Toolbar_Layout_and_Appearance/Toolbar_Layout).
*   **Supports ClearStyle Technology**<br />**C1Toolbar** supports ComponentOne's ClearStyle technology, which allows you to easily change control colors without having to change control templates. By setting a few color properties, you can quickly style the **C1Toolbar** elements. See [Toolbar ClearStyle Properties](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-toolbar/C1Toolbar_Layout_and_Appearance/ComponentOne_ClearStyle_Technology/Toolbar_ClearStyle_Properties) for more information on the ClearStyle technology.
*   **Themes**<br />Add style to your UI with built-in support of more than 20 themes, including Cosmopolitan and Office 2016.
*   **SimplifiedRibbon**<br />Toolbar for WPF offers SimplifiedRibbon with a collapsible view which is similar to the MS Office 365 Ribbon tool. It provides you an option to work with a single line collapsed view or an expanded view containing three line appearances.
