I am recursively looping through controls in my user control to enable/disable controls depending on security. I am wondering how I would be able to find any toolbars in my user control since it is not in the controls collection.
If you have a reference to the UltraToolbarsManager which defines the toolbars, you can loop through its Toolbars collection. Otherwise, while you are looping through controls, if you come to a control of type UltraToolbarsDockArea, you can access its ToolbarsManager property to get to the toolbars manager on the UserControl.
