  A common request I get is being able to rearrange the contents of the QAT. For example, a user wants to add a button to the QAT and put it all the way on the left. As far as I know, their only option would be to remove everything from the QAT, add the desired button, then re-add everything.

  Is there a different solution for this for users? The most frequent suggestion is a “click+drag” function where users could rearrange the contents of the QAT by dragging them around.

  If there is not a solution currently, is there any suggestion on how one might develop one, perhaps with MouseDown/MouseUp events, or DragEvents?

  Thank you,
  
  Andrew

  Hi Andrew,

  As per the development team, unfortunately, there is no way to implement drag-drop functionality in the QAT items using the current API. The development team has suggested using Microsoft’s way - by adding a dialog form where the user can customize QAT items order.

  We have created a basic implementation for your reference. In the attached sample, you can right-click any QAT item and select the “Customize QAT” option to change the order.

  If the above approach is okay with you, you can enhance it in a better way as per your application. However, if you still want the direct drag-drop functionality in the QAT items, please let us know and we will escalate an enhancement request to the development team.

  Thanks for the suggestion and sample code. I still need to take a look and see if I can work it into our application. But for now it seems like a good alternative to drag/drop.

  The feedback I have received from users is that right clicking on an existing button on the QAT to find the functionality for rearranging the buttons is not clear or intuitive.

  The ideal location to place this would be the arrow dropdown at the right-most side of the QAT (along with Minimize the Ribbon and Show Above/Below the ribbon). I was able to get it to appear there with c1Ribbon.Qat.MenuItems.Add(CustomizeButton).

  However, when clicking this, it doesn’t run the CustomizeButton.click event, it puts it on the Ribbon. Then clicking that button runs the click event.

  Is there a way to put my “Re-order the QAT” button within the down arrow button on the QAT? Also, drag+drop on the QAT would still be the ideal solution.

  Thanks again,
  
  Andrew
