Ribbon Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar allows end-users to access frequently used commands regardless of the currently selected tab.

Toolbar settings (content, visibility, and position) are stored by a TdxRibbonQuickAccessToolbar object, which can be accessed using the Ribbon’s QuickAccessToolbar property.

Content Customization at Design Time or Via Code

As with the Tab Area Toolbar and Tab Area Search Toolbar, the Quick Access Toolbar is simply a container for a traditional toolbar. To provide content, you first need to create a toolbar and populate it with items. Then, use the Ribbon’s QuickAccessToolbar.Toolbar property to embed this bar into the Quick Access Toolbar container.

You can also customize the Quick Access Toolbar’s dropdown menu. For this purpose, use the Ribbon’s PopupMenuItems property.

End-User Customization

End-users can manually populate the Quick Access Toolbar with required commands using the Ribbon’s context menu. They can also use the dropdown menu to do the following:

  • Temporarily hide unnecessary bar items;

  • Customize Quick Access Toolbar’s content via the Customization Form;

  • Specify the bar’s location – above or below the Ribbon;

  • Minimize the Ribbon.
