When you convert any form to a ToolbarForm at design-time, both satellite controls ( ToolbarFormManager and ToolbarFormControl) are created automatically.
If you need to create a Toolbar Form in code, create these two additional components as well.
ToolbarForm myForm = new ToolbarForm();
ToolbarFormManager tfcManager = new ToolbarFormManager() { Form = myForm };
ToolbarFormControl tfcHeader = new ToolbarFormControl() { ToolbarForm = myForm, Manager = tfcManager};
myForm.Controls.Add(tfcHeader);
myForm.ToolbarFormControl = tfcHeader;
Dim myForm As New ToolbarForm()
myForm.Size = New Size(800, 600)
myForm.Text = "Toolbar Form"
Dim tfcManager As New ToolbarFormManager() With {.Form = myForm}
Dim tfcHeader As New ToolbarFormControl() With {.ToolbarForm = myForm, .Manager = tfcManager}
myForm.Controls.Add(tfcHeader)
myForm.ToolbarFormControl = tfcHeader
Bar items owned by a ToolbarFormManager should be placed to the ToolbarFormControl.TitleItemLinks collection. Items’ alignment settings (the BarItem.Alignment property) specify whether these items are aligned to the ToolbarFormControl ‘s left or right side.
//create four buttons
BarButtonItem item1 = new BarButtonItem(tfcManager, "Button 1");
BarButtonItem item2 = new BarButtonItem(tfcManager, "Button 2");
BarButtonItem item3 = new BarButtonItem(tfcManager, "Button 3");
BarButtonItem item4 = new BarButtonItem(tfcManager, "Button 4");
//buttons 3 and 4 will be docked to the ToolbarFormControl's right edge
item3.Alignment = item4.Alignment = BarItemLinkAlignment.Right;
//Out of two items added to the TitleItemLinks collection, the item that was added first
//will be closer to the form edge. For that reason, you need to populate the right area
//backwards, i.e. start with rightmost item
tfcHeader.TitleItemLinks.AddRange(new BarItem[] { item1, item2, item4, item3});
'create four buttons
