I am sure this has been asked before but I could not find it.
How do I add a button to the chartcontroller next to the save button?
It has to be a open button so the user can both save and open a file.
I prefere do do it by code.
PS when I try to add a toolstripitem in design mode VS2015 shows a error: "Cannot create an abstract class"

Hi Torben,
You should be able to control the items in the chartcontroller using code similar to that indicated in the answer to
this post.

Hi,
I dont understand how the single code line in the link helps me adding a custom button.
Can you give a simple code example that shows how to add a button next to the save button?

Hello Torben,
You could try:
Code: Select all
private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolStripButton button = new ToolStripButton("My Button", Image.FromFile(@"D:\tmp\orion.png"), Button_Click);
button.ImageAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
button.ImageScaling = ToolStripItemImageScaling.SizeToFit;
((ToolStrip)chartController1).AutoSize = true;
((ToolStrip)chartController1).Items.Insert(((ToolStrip)chartController1).Items.Count - 1, button);
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Alnitak");
}
