A toolbar provides a set of commands and controls for a context. These are commonly seen along the top of documents and tabs within a pane.
Codename: ShellToolbar - NationalInstruments.Shell
Use the factory to create toolbars
You will populate a toolbar via our commanding and factory system. To get the toolbar look, most factories have a ForToolBar static factory to get this different style. In some cases we actually have a different factory, like ShellToolBarButtonVisualFactory which creates a ShellToolBarButton (rather than just a different style for ShellButton).
Examples
Left side
Right side
Use separators between text controls
Because dropdowns and buttons only have text, they need some sort of containment. Use a separator on both sides of controls that have text but don’t have borders. In the example below, the zoom drop-down and Edit icon controls have toolbar separators on both sides of them.
using (context.AddDocumentToolBarContent())
{
using (context.AddGroup(ShellToolBar.LeftGroupCommand))
{
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(ShmooCommands.ActiveSite) { Weight = 0.1 },
new ChoiceComboBoxFactory { CreateLabel = true, LabelVerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center, Width = SessionManager.SitesComboBoxWidth });
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(PatternCommands.OpenEnabledSitesDialog) { Weight = 0.1 }, ShellToolBarButtonVisualFactory.NoMask);
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(CommandHelpers.SeparatorItem) { Weight = 0.1 });
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(PatternCommands.ToggleAutomaticallyConnectPinsOnBurst) { Weight = 0.1 },
new ToggleButtonFactory { Padding = new SMThickness(4), RenderImageAsMask = false, ShowContentLabel = false, ShowToolTip = true });
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(ShmooCommands.Run) { Weight = 0.1 }, ShellToolBarButtonVisualFactory.NoMask);
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(PatternCommands.Abort) { Weight = 0.1 }, ShellToolBarButtonVisualFactory.NoMask);
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(CommandHelpers.SeparatorItem) { Weight = 0.1 });
context.Add(new ShellCommandInstance(ShmooCommands.SaveToPng) { Weight = 0.1 }, ShellToolBarButtonVisualFactory.NoMask);
}
