MacOS X: add support the native toolbar customization dialog about eto HOT 6 CLOSED

I changed the code of the ToolbarHandler for the Mac platform (uncommented a line) and now the customization works.

At least the dialog shows up. But I don't know how to add toolbuttons to the dialog and not the toolbar itself.

It will take a bit of work to implement toolbar customization for all platforms (if you want to take a stab at it, it would be more than welcome).

If you just want to allow customization for the OS X toolbar, you can probably do so using the styles (in your monomac app):

Style.AddHandler<ToolBarHandler> ("mytoolbarstyle", handler => {
    handler.Control.AllowsUserCustomization = true;
    handler.Control.Delegate = new MyToolbarDelegateThatHandlesCustomization ();
});

and in your form:

this.ToolBar = args.ToolBar.GenerateToolBar();
this.ToolBar.Style = "mytoolbarstyle";

The main difference between showing items in the customization palette vs. what items are shown on the toolbar is the DefaultItemIdentifiers() method of the delegate.

thanks for the tipp. Is there any way to customize toolbar buttons as well? Do they have some kind of default style applied, or can I use this styling method to style children of the actual control as well?

For example to set the bezelstyle of a Cocoa toolbar button to BezelStyle.TexturedRounded or to change the button size?

from eto.

Yes you can override the Generate() method on your ButtonAction for the toolbar and apply your style to the returned ToolBarItem. I may add a ToolBarItemStyle and MenuItemStyle to the BaseAction and ActionItem classes for easier use of styles there.

For general questions in the future please try to use the forums or irc, so others can find the answers as well. (;

Do you mean this forums: http://picoe.ca/forums/ ?

If yes, then there is no generic Eto Forms board. Or do I miss something here?

In the readme.md, there's a link to the forums and IRC under the Discussion section. Most people have been opting for IRC than the forums, but I monitor both. (;
