Customize toolbar

Purpose
This sample demonstrates how to customize the Toolbar control at run time. In this sample, the Toolbar control is used in conjunction with the Map control and the control commands. The AddItem method is used in the Form_Load event to add new items to the Toolbar control with their style set. The Customize method is used to determine whether the Toolbar control can be customized at run time.

How to use
