Telerik ASP.NET ToolBar is a flexible component for implementation of tool and button strips, needed in most web applications. Its powerful customization capabilities and rich collection of toolbar items allow you to craft every button on the toolbar independently to either display text, image or both. When integrated with Telerik RadDock it mimics the versatility of desktop toolbars.

Features

Semantic Rendering Mechanism

RadToolbar implements a highly efficient semantic rendering, which uses list items and CSS instead of tables. As a result the HTML output is significantly reduced, which dramatically improves performance.

RadToolBar items are represented as child controls in the structure of the toolbar and are very customizable through skins and related properties. The toolbar provides three custmizable types of items - ToolBarButton, ToolBarDropDown and ToolBarSplitButton.

Horizontal and Vertical Orientation

With Telerik ASP.NET Toolbar control you can easily have both horizontal and vertical toolbars.

Powerful Databinding

Telerik ASP.NET AJAX ToolBar supports binding to various sources including all ASP.NET AJAX 2.0 and .NET 3.5 declarative datasources, datasets and arrays.

Docking Toolbars

You can easily integrate RadToolBar with RadDock to create docking toolbars with automatic orientation adjustment.

Content Template Support

In addition to the preset skins, you can customize the appearance the toolbar items with custom images, using CSS classes or creating custom skins. However, if you want to embed other HTML controls in a toolbar button, you must use templates.

Office2007-like Ribbon

RadToolBar can easily integrate with Telerik Menu, TabStrip and ComboBox to achieve Office2007-like Ribbon look and feel.

Search Engine Friendly

RadToolBar completely follows the principles of Search Engine Optimization. The control's innovative rendering generates semantic lists and standardtags, which are properly recognized and highly valued by search engines.

Animations

RadToolBar supports a variety of expand and collapse animation styles for a great user experience. You can easily customize the way the dropdown items are expanded and collapsed, as well as specify their type and duration.
