IsControlContainer Property (TaskPaneTool)

Returns whether the tool is a container tool that can contain other controls. This property is read-only.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property IsControlContainer As Boolean
public override bool IsControlContainer {get;}
Remarks

This property will return True only for tools that can contain controls, such as the ControlContainerTool, PopupControlContainerTool and TaskPaneTool tools. For most controls (button, combo box, etc.) this property will return False.

Example
The following code processes each toolbar defined to the Toolbars Manager and iterates through each toolbar's tools displaying tool properties as it goes.
