I may be wrong, but I believe at the present time, items in a ToolBar can only be added with the XAML editor. Once added, you can edit and move them using the Collection Editor for the ToolBar.

That's very simple. As you might have noticed you can place nearly everything to the toolbar to be regarded as it's item. The same is for code behind. Sample snippet for common button control

 

<Window x:Class="WebBrowsingTest.Window1"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">

<Grid>

<ToolBarTray>

<ToolBar x:Name="myToolBar">

<Button>xxx</Button>

<Button>yyy</Button>

</ToolBar>

</ToolBarTray>

</Grid>

</Window>

 

If you named the toolbar you can also do it from the code behind:

 

myToolBar.Items.Add(new Button() { Content = "333" });

 

I used to store the drop downs and zooming sliders in a similar manner so there's no problems until you know the purpose of what you are doing

 

Guess you should play with it a bit trying to set the controls you need.

Hi Denis,

What if toolbar is defined in XAML as following? FC is defined in another XAML file inside <ResourceDictionary>  then what do you suggest?

 

<Expander x:Name="myExpander1" Header="Controls" Content="{StaticResource FC}" IsExpanded="True" /
