Hello,
In our application we use a usercontrol (usrCtrl) which contains a UltraToolbarsManager (utmMain).There are multiple instances of this usercontrol in different forms.Every usercontrol has a unique name (Example: usrCtrl_1, usrCtrl_2, ...... ,usrCtrl_n).Before closing one of the forms we implemented these two steps:1. setting the usrCtrl_n.utmMain.SettingsKey to the unique name of the usrCtrl_n.(Example: usrCtrl_1.utmMain.SettingsKey = usrCtrl_1.Name)2. Then we call usrCtrl_n.utmMain.SaveComponentSettings().When we reopen the form we use the Form.Load event to do following steps:1. set again the usrCtrl_n.utmMain.SettingsKey to the unique name of the usrCtrl_n.2. Then we call usrCtrl_n.utmMain.LoadComponentSettings().So for every usercontrol instance the user configurations for the usercontrol's UltraToolbarsManager are saved and reloaded properly.
Until now it worked great....But a few days ago we published a new version of our application which contains new tools in the usercontrol's UltraToolbarsManager. Now our problem is that the user can't see the new tools. It seems like that the loading of the saved component settings completely overwrites the designed UltraToolbarsManager settings.What can we do to prevent this behaviour so that the new tools appear and the user configuration takes effect too?

Hello Isiraider,
Currently the WinToolbarsManager does not have the functionality you describe. To enable your users to see the newly added tools, you could change the SettingsKey to something like usrCtrl_n-A.
Sincerely,
Thank you for your reply!
When I change the SettingsKey the user could see the newly added tools but the user would loose his settigns... We can't do this! Any other suggestions?
I will be logging a feature request on your behalf for the functionality you want. In the meantime, however, you could use the SaveAsXml method to save the settings to a SOAP format XML file. Then, when the application loads, use an XmlReader to iterate through the saved settings and compare them with the current settings. Each tool has a unique Key property that you can use when comparing.
Hello Dave,
unfortunately there is no solution for our problem with the UltraToolbarsManager. So we have to wait until the feature is ready. I know that this can take a while... My boss is a little bit angry because we announced some new functionalities to our user and now nobody can see/reach them. So we have to publish these functionalities otherwise. You can close this thread.
Thank you and best regards
