ASP.NET Core ToolBar Overview
The Telerik UI ToolBar TagHelper and HtmlHelper for ASP.NET Core are server-side wrappers for the Kendo UI ToolBar widget.
The ToolBar is designed to hold different types of controls such as buttons, button groups, toggle buttons, split buttons, and other customized elements. The ToolBar consists of the ToolBar wrapper, overflow anchor, and command overflow popup main areas. The wrapper holds all commands that can be placed within the available container width. The ones that have no space to fit are moved to the command overflow popup.
Initializing the ToolBar
The following example demonstrates how to define the ToolBar.
Razor
@(Html.Kendo().ToolBar()
.Name("ToolBar")
.Items(items => {
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Button).Text("Button");
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Button).Text("Toggle Button").Togglable(true);
items.Add().Type(CommandType.SplitButton).Text("Insert").MenuButtons(menuButtons =>
{
menuButtons.Add().Text("Insert above").Icon("insert-top");
menuButtons.Add().Text("Insert between").Icon("insert-middle");
menuButtons.Add().Text("Insert below").Icon("insert-bottom");
});
})
)Basic Configuration
The following example demonstrates the basic configuration of the ToolBar.
Razor
@(Html.Kendo().ToolBar()
.Name("ToolBar")
.Items(items => {
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Button).Text("Button 1").Id("button1").Click("buttonClickHandler");
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Button).Text("Button 2").Id("button2").Click("buttonClickHandler");
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Separator);
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Button).Togglable(true).Text("Toggle 1").Id("toggle1").Toggle("buttonToggleHandler");
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Button).Togglable(true).Text("Toggle 2").Id("toggle2").Toggle("buttonToggleHandler");
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Separator);
items.Add().Template("<input id='dropdown' style='width: 150px;' />").Overflow(ShowInOverflowPopup.Never);
items.Add().Type(CommandType.SplitButton).Text("Split Button").Id("mainButton").Click("splitButtonClickHandler").MenuButtons(menuButtons =>
{
menuButtons.Add().Text("Action 1").Id("action1");
menuButtons.Add().Text("Action 2").Id("action2");
menuButtons.Add().Text("Action 3").Id("action3");
});
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Separator);
items.Add().Type(CommandType.ButtonGroup).Buttons(buttons =>
{
buttons.Add().Text("Radio 1").Id("radio1").Togglable(true).Group("radio").Toggle("buttonToggleHandler");
buttons.Add().Text("Radio 2").Id("radio2").Togglable(true).Group("radio").Toggle("buttonToggleHandler");
buttons.Add().Text("Radio 3").Id("radio3").Togglable(true).Group("radio").Toggle("buttonToggleHandler");
});
items.Add().Type(CommandType.Button).Text("Overflow button").Id("overflowButton").Overflow(ShowInOverflowPopup.Always);
})
.Events(e => e.Click("onClick").Toggle("onToggle").Open("onOpen").Close("onClose").OverflowOpen("onOverflowOpen").OverflowClose("onOverflowClose"))
)
