### Description

Gets or sets the horizontal [sidebar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-windows-forms/sidebar/llms-full.txt) that is connected to the RibbonFormattingTab's [TXITEM\_Find](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-windows-forms-ribbon/ribbonformattingtab/ribbonitem-enumeration/llms-full.txt) button and its horizontal sidebar drop down button. The default value is `null`.

### Syntax

```csharp
public Sidebar FindHorizontalSidebar { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property FindHorizontalSidebar As Sidebar
```

### Examples

The following example uses `RibbonFormattingTab.FindHorizontalSidebar` to configure find horizontal sidebar as part of the ribbon formatting tab workflow. The change is then applied to the active document or user interface.

```csharp
ribbonFormattingTab.FindHorizontalSidebar = new TXTextControl.Windows.Forms.Sidebar();
ribbonFormattingTab.Update();
```

```vbnet
ribbonFormattingTab.FindHorizontalSidebar = New TXTextControl.Windows.Forms.Sidebar()
ribbonFormattingTab.Update()
```

### Remarks

Checking the `TXITEM_Find` button, if the corresponding horizontal sidebar drop down button is toggled, displays the connected sidebar as [pinned](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-windows-forms/sidebar/ispinned-property/llms-full.txt). If the drop down button is not toggled, the sidebar is represented by a [non-sizable dialog](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-windows-forms/sidebar/dialogstyle-property/llms-full.txt). In both cases, the sidebar's [content layout](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-windows-forms/sidebar/contentlayout-property/llms-full.txt) is set to [SidebarContentLayout.Find](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-windows-forms/sidebar/sidebarcontentlayout-enumeration/llms-full.txt) and the [connected vertical find sidebar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-windows-forms-ribbon/ribbonformattingtab/findsidebar-property/llms-full.txt) is hidden.
