Change ToolStrip button positions dynamically

Question

Which property of ToolStripButton is responsible for their position order on a ToolStrip?
I need that property so that I can dynamically change positions of ToolStripButtons on a ToolStrip.

Answer 1

There isn't a property for this. The buttons are contained in a ToolStripItemCollection which holds the general ToolStripItem instances. You can behave with it like a C# collection. Like other collections, you can clear it, add or insert items at any arbitrary position, etc. Like:

toolStrip1.Items.Clear();

toolStrip1.Items.Add(toolStripButton3);
toolStrip1.Items.Add(toolStripButton2);
toolStrip1.Items.Add(toolStripButton1);

toolStrip1.Items.Insert(toolStripButton4, 2);

To convert the ToolStripItemCollection to a C# collection with more capabilities (like Sort and Reverse) convert it to an ArrayList:

System.Collections.ArrayList list = new System.Collections.ArrayList(toolStrip1.Items);
