Hello, here is what I am trying to do. I want to make my own edit bar. As far as I could go: There is an Start Edit Button, when it clicked Editor is started plus I list all visible layers and under each layer I place IFeatureTemplate control. The only problem now is that FeatureTempale controls look disabled, even thought Editing is on. How can I activate them?

Thank you in advance.

Which version are you using?

From a blank mxd session.  meaning you have nothing loaded.

Right click on the toolbar area.  When the drop down opens go to the bottom and click customize.

One the customize window that pops up select the options tab.

There a number of choices there.  If you select Save all customizations to document it will only save them to the MXD you are using.  Unchecked it will save it the Normal.  So what ever you do that change will be there.  Not to be used if multiple people use your license.

Click Back on the Toolbar Tab

Select New

The New Toolbar window should  pop up.  The name should be Custom 1 (or similar) give it a name.  Myself I call it Roberts Toolbar.

When you hit Ok it should appear in your toolbars.  Now click on the Commands tab.  Find the individual commands you wan to have in your toolbar.

You can find commands using the search box.  For example type in Edit

On the left it will show all the categories containing a command that contains the word edit.

Go down to the Editor category.  There should be 7 commands there (depending on ArcGIS version)

If you want the Save Edits command simply single click on it and drag it to your new toolbar.

Personally I keep 6 customized toolbars depending on what I am doing.
