When you select the FlashViewer ViewerType of the WebViewer (Professional Edition license), the FlashViewer toolbar is very similar to the Viewer control's toolbar. You can show or hide it, reorder buttons, remove buttons, add custom buttons, or create a custom toolbar. Use the Web.Controls namespace to create custom buttons or a custom toolbar that you can specify in the WebViewer's FlashViewerToolbar property.

    Note: If the ViewerType property of your WebViewer control is not set to FlashViewer, this code is ignored.
    1. In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, right-click the ASPX file that contains your WebViewer and select View Designer.
    2. In the design view of your web form, double-click the WebViewer. This creates an event handling method for the Page Load event and takes you to the code view of the page.
    3. Use code like the following to hide the toolbar:

      To write the code in Visual Basic.NET

      To write the code in C#

      To write the code in Visual Basic.NET
