Key Property (UltraToolbar)

Gets or sets a value that uniquely identifies an object in a collection.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property Key As String
public override string Key {get; set;}

Property Value

A value that uniquely identifies an object in a collection.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
System.NotSupportedExceptionThe property is modified at design-time for a toolbar in an UltraToolbarsManager defined on a base Form or UserControl. Inherited toolbars must be modified at run-time or at design-time through the designer of the Form or UserControl they were created on.
System.NotSupportedException The property is modified at run-time.
System.ArgumentException The value assigned is null or empty.
System.ArgumentException The value assigned matches the Key of another toolbar in the same collection. Keys are compared case-insensitively
Remarks

The Key property is a unique, user-defined object identification string that can be used interchangeably with the Index of an object when accessing it through code. If you attempt to assign a value to the Key property is not unique in the collection, an error will occur.

The value of the Index property of an object can change when objects in the collection are reordered, such as when you add or remove objects. If you expect the Index property to change dynamically, refer to objects in a collection using the Key property. In addition, you can use the Key property to make your program "self-documenting" by assigning meaningful names to the objects in a collection.

Example
The following code shows how to access various toolbar properties.
