I use AutoCAD 2016 , and want to add a tool in picture location . 1. use PaletteSet ， but when i dock top , this minHeight will bigger then i want so

    if (PSet == null || PSet.Visible == false)
    {
        var window = new PatternSetWindow();

        PSet = new PaletteSet("TYDI_Document");
        PSet.Visible = true;
        ElementHost host = new()
        {
            AutoSize = true,
            Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
            Child = window
        };
        
        PSet.Style =  PaletteSetStyles.ShowCloseButton | PaletteSetStyles.ShowAutoHideButton  | PaletteSetStyles.ShowPropertiesMenu | PaletteSetStyles.Notify ;
        PSet.Add("TYDI_Document", host);
        PSet.KeepFocus = true;
        PSet.Size = new Size(1200, 30);
        PSet.MinimumSize = new Size(1200, 3);
        PSet.Dock = DockSides.Top;
        PSet.DockEnabled = DockSides.Top;
        //PSet.WindowState = Window.State.Minimized;
        PSet.RecalculateDockSiteLayout();
    }
}

Why do you want to use PaletteSet docked on top, instead of standard menu system (Ribbon, namely). You can create your own partial menu using command CUI and distribute/deploy it with your app/plugin together, which can be easily edited/updated. If you really want a dynamically created menu items with code, you can code your own Ribbon tab/panel/items... and load it with your plugin. If you really want to use PaletteSet that looks/works like ToolPaletteSet, then do not expect it can be docked like toolbar.

Why not use ribbon button in Ribbon menu. which can have text caption with or without image?

Hi @norman.yuan :
