ToolBarControls.Avalonia

Description
This package provides two custom controls for Avalonia UI: ToolBar and ToolBarTray. These controls enable the
creation
of flexible, dockable toolbars with overflow functionality similar to traditional desktop applications. The
ToolBarTray
acts as a container that can hold multiple ToolBar instances, allowing them to be organized in bands and supporting
both
horizontal and vertical orientations. The controls include features like drag-and-drop repositioning, overflow menus for
space-constrained scenarios, and keyboard navigation support.
