Remarks

There are several advantages to use UXToolGroup in the tool bar, such as placing each group in different position and customizing the overflow setting for each group.

The following example shows how to create a UXToolBar with two UXToolGroup instances. The first instance is aligned to the left, while the other is aligned to the right. The alignment is controlled through the Placement property.

XAML
Copy Code 
 <Intersoft:UXToolBar>

     <Intersoft:UXToolGroup>
         <Intersoft:UXToolBarButton Content="Save Changes" 
                                    DisplayMode="ContentAndImage" 
                                    Icon="/Assets/Images/Commands/Save.png"
                                    Command="{Binding Path=SaveCommand}" />
         <Intersoft:UXToolBarButton Content="Cancel" 
                                    DisplayMode="ContentAndImage" 
                                    Icon="/Assets/Images/Commands/Cancel.png"/>
     </Intersoft:UXToolGroup>

     <Intersoft:UXToolGroup Placement="RightOrBottom">
         <Intersoft:UXToolBarButton Content="Help" 
                                    DisplayMode="Image" 
                                    Icon="/Assets/Images/Commands/Help.png" />
         <Intersoft:UXSeparator/>
         <Intersoft:UXToolBarButton Content="More Actions" 
                                    ButtonType="DropdownButton">
             <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="Schedule a meeting" />
         </Intersoft:UXToolBarButton>
     </Intersoft:UXToolGroup>

 </Intersoft:UXToolBar>

The result looks like the following figure.
