The ShortcutResizeBackColor property changes the visual appearance of the resizing bar of the shortcut bar. The SelectShortcut property selects a shortcut. When a shortcut is selected, the control displays only groups with the Shortcut property as being the SelectShortcut property.

The red circle marks the control's shortcut bar. Use the AllowResizeShortcutBar property to specify whether the user may expand the shortcut bar using the mouse. Use the ExpandShortcutImage property to display a custom icon in the right side expand button. Use the ExpandShortcutCount property to specify the number of shortcuts that display their full caption, else the first icon in the caption is displayed or the assigned picture is displayed.
