I have commandbars that have embedded controls (i.e. combo box and textbox) and I am trying to save and reload the state of the bars. When I reload the state, the controls are missing and the commandbar height is much larger. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Can you modify some our project and attach to check what you do.

Here is a modified SDISample project. Please note it will ask you if it is the first time running the sample, so the 1st time, select YES. Once the sample loads and displays move the toolbars around and then close the form (end the project). Start it up again and this time, answer NO to "is this the first time running the sample, this will attempt to reload the last state. Note how the controls are missing. Am I doing something wrong? https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/20080723_083639_SDISample.zip - uploads/20080723_083639_SDISample.zip

If you add custom-controls, you add its handle (the hwnd-property).

This handle will be changed with very start, so you can't save this state.

After load state, you have to reassign the custom controls with the new handles.

Hi,

yes, reason that hwnd will be new. As solution you can set Customizable = False for toolbar with custom controls or manually restore handle of custom control.

Customizable IS false, but the user is still able to modify the toolbar's position...so I also want to restore this new position (without using registry)

Use the FindControl-Method and assign the new handle.
