Hello,
We are wondering how to hide the "Add Or Remove Buttons" option when you click the overflow button on a strip of the command bar. We don't want to allow the user to be messing around with what buttons they see. Alternatively, if that option can not be hidden, how to make individual buttons not be present in the menu for show/hide. Note that we don't want to hide the OverlowButton as a whole cause if they make the form narrow they wont have a way to get to the buttons on the right that are now going to be hidden.
See attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
If you want to get rid of the overflow menu, but still want to keep the overflow button, you can use the following code:
However, the only purpose of the overflow button is to show the overflow menu as far as I'm aware, and therefore it may be better to get rid of the overflow button alltogether in the following way
hope this helps but let me know if you need more information

Hello Richard,
What you are suggesting is disabling the whole overflow menu altogether, what we would like to do is keep the ability to show hidden buttons caused by the form being too narrow, and hide the "Add or Remove Buttons" option only, see new screenshot.

Hi Joe,
This isn't behaving how I was expecting, but here is what I have so far which may help, though it's not complete yet as it leaves the space for the menu text and removes the text. I'll keep looking for you

Hello Joe,
Thank you for writing.
You can force individual buttons not to be present in the menu for show/hide by setting their VisibleInOverflowMenu property to false. Hiding the "Add or remove buttons" menu item currently can be achieved only in the way that Richard posted. More extended customization options will be released with the upcoming service pack.
Joe, I hope this will help you. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Richard, thank you very much for the help. Your Telerik points have been updated.

I am using CommandBarStripElement, but I am not able to set the
'Text' property for it. I guess because of this, I am not able to see
the desired structure in overflow button.
Is this is a bug or am i missing something in it?
UI with old control - Overflow button - old version.png -> (This is what we need to achieve with new version)
UI with new control - Overflow button - new version.png
Please suggest
Thanks Manoj0

how do i get RadCommandBar CommandBarStripElement items in inside of overflow button ? is there any way

Hello, Raneesras,
You can get the items in the overflow button by iterating the CommandBarStripElement.OverflowButton.AddRemoveButtonsMenuItem.Items collection. As it is demonstrated in the previous reply, they have to be accessed in the OverflowButton.AddRemoveButtonsMenuItem.DropDownOpened event if you need to customize them..
If you are still experiencing any further difficulties, please give us some more details about the exact requirement that you are trying to achieve. Thus, we would be able to think about a suitable solution and assist you further.
