Tool palette.

Product Availability

Description

Tool palettes provide a compact way to group a related set of tools. The most recently used tool appears on the toolbar alongside a small drop-down button used to access other tools in the group. Like menus, tools that appear on tool palettes can come from built-in sources, add-in sources, or a combination of both.

When To Use

Use this interface to define the properties of a custom tool palette.

To create a tool palette, you need to implement the ICommand inteface and the IToolPalette interface in your class code.
