Hi!
Thanks I will be waiting for your reply.

This is very easily sub-classed and *all* the ToolBar properties are still available visually to add buttons to, etc. Not so with the ToolStrip ... as you've mentioned, I also found that *NONE* of the properties are available in the sub-class. I've been playing with it a bit this morning trying to get the same functionality out of the ToolStrip as I have with the ToolBar and I'm not having any luck.

>>Yes the property sheet is greyed out (disabled/readonly). This is an MDI Parent Form with a MenuStrip, ToolStrip, BindingNavigator, StatusStrip etc. and it would be much easier to viusally add options to the menustrip and buttons to the toolstrip than by code.
