Hot Customization

The hot customization feature allows your end users to configure the bar layout by dragging bar items to a required position.

When hot customization is enabled, an end user can perform the following actions.

  • Change a bar item’s position

    Hold down ALT and drag a bar item to a required position.

  • Copy a bar item

    Hold down the ALT + CTRL key combination and drag a bar item to a required position.

  • Remove an item from the toolbar

    Hold down ALT and drag the bar item outside the toolbar.

Bar items can be moved or copied to a menu that is currently closed. Closed menus are opened when you hover over them while dragging a bar item.
