you can do that too. You can simply delete these toolbars by selecting them and hitting the Delete button of your keyboard. Once
you deleted those toolbars, you can not bring them back, so if you need any toolbar in the future after you deleted them, you
will require to deleting the instance of the html control and placing a new instance into your form. You can also hide factory items from
the toolbars or even edit their properties like changing tooltip text, image icon and many other properties.

modifiable components so you can set any of the properties of any of these toolbars

It is to be noted that the factory items are serially placed from left to right from top to bottom. So to position an item to a new place, you need to serially find their position by scrolling. And
if you need to change their toolstrip you need to set the HostToolStrip property as shown.
So, to property as shown.

- Position the item with the arrow keys and place them serially in the right order by scrolling up or down by the arrow button.
- If you need to place the item on another toolstrip, change the HostToolStrip property of the current item.
For example, to Place the NEW button after the Font Color Picker button NEW button, the New button is first placed in the position right after the Font Color Picker button (see following image).
The new position is serially found out from left to right by scrolling through the arrow button. Then the HostToolStripis case the NEW button)is changed as the new position is on the bootom strip.
