Class ControlBar

A ControlBar is a specialized implementation of the CommandBar class that is used for hosting controls within the Essential Tools XPMenus Framework. A ControlBar can contain two controls - the main control that occupies the ControlBar's client region and optionally, a CaptionControl that is displayed within the ControlBar's caption region. While just about any System.Windows.Forms.Control instance can be used as the ControlBar's main client, the caption control position is normally occupied by single line controls such as a ToolBar, TextBox or ComboBox. ControlBars thus function as full-featured docking windows that can be docked along the host form's borders or floated as top-level windows, while following the layout limitations of the XPMenus toolbars. Examples of the ControlBar concept include the Microsoft Office 2003 TaskPane window.

ControlBars are supported through the XPMenus framework and can be added to any form that has been initialized with a MainFrameBarManager. Invoking the MainFrameBarManager's AddControlBar design-time verb will create a new ControlBar and add it to the form. Dropping a control onto the ControlBar sets it as the ControlBar's main client. To assign the caption control, drop control onto the ControlBar and set the CaptionControl to reference it.
