How I can add seperator between two buttons on toolbar

[amitrajput284]

Hi All, I want to add seperator on toolbar. I am using the following code to add button. HelpButton = (CommandBarButton)oStandardBar.Controls.Add(1, missing, missing, missing, missing); //firstButton.Style = MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonCaption; HelpButton.TooltipText = "Help"; HelpButton.Tag = "btnHelp"; HelpButton.Click += new _CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(ButtonClick); AddImage(ref HelpButton, "Help"); Please suggest how I can add seperator between two buttons on toolbar. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Add a new button to your toolbar. Change its name to , ( eg. tbbSeparator1 ) and change its Style to Separator. When you change the Style property of the button to Separator, it disappears from the toolbar, or at least it seems to. When a button is designated as a separator, it's simply an empty placeholder used to create a space between two buttons. Because this separator is at the end row of buttons, you can't see it. Move it to the second position by selecting it in the ToolBarButton Collection Editor and clicking the up arrow that appears to the right of the Members list; this arrow and the one below it are used to move a button up or down in the list. Click OK to save your changes and your toolbar will now have a space between the two buttons. Have fun! Regards,

Thanks for the reply. But I am creating the add inn application and creating the command bar through the code (C#). For button style i am using customButton.Style = MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption; and no seperator kind of style available for MsoButtonStyle Thanks.

An easy way of seeing how to do things like this is to create a dummy-project, set it up as you like to have it by using the graphical editor, and then look at the code.

Use customButton.BeginGroup = true; for the second button.
