Prerequisite: Follow the link How to create a new project to create your application with LinsUIWPF Suite.

1.     Create a custom control which is derived from FlexToolBarBaseButton.

public class MyCustomToolItem : FlexToolBarBaseButton

{

}

2.     Overwrite the following virtual function

public override Size MeasureSize(bool bDropDown, FLEX_DOCKING_ALIGN nDock)

{

Size szMySize;

/////////////////////////////////////////////

// Caculate your custom tool item’s size

/////////////////////////////////////////////

return szMySize;

}

3.     Replace the original tool item with your custom tool item.

<src:FlexToolBar x:Class="Demo.BlossomToolBar"

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

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

xmlns:src="clr-namespace:LinsUIWPF;assembly=LinsUIWPF" 

ID = "{StaticResource BLOSSOM_TOOLBAR_ID}" Text="Blossom" FlexDock="LEFT" Height="44" Width="277">

<src:MyCustomToolItem CommandID="{StaticResource DOWN_COMMAND_ID}" ID = "{StaticResource BLOSSOM_DOWN_ID}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Icon="/Demo;component/Resource/navigate_down.ico"Text="Down" ToolTipText="Tooltip for &quot;Down&quot; comment." />
