Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual void ForceLinkCreate()

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub ForceLinkCreate

Remarks

Call the ForceLinkCreate method if you need to access bar item links when the form is being loaded (for instance, in the Form.Load event handler).

This method forces the Bar Manager to finish initializing the component. In particular, it forces the links within the BarManager’s bars and menus to be created. You can then access the links safely.
