You can customize the appearance of your properties in the tool pane by doing the following:

  • Expanding and collapsing specific categories when the pane opens. Use the Expand method of either the WebPartToolPart or CustomPropertyToolpart class to expand selected categories.
  • Hiding base class properties. Use the Hide method of the WebPartToolPart class to hide selected properties.
  • Controlling the order of tool parts within a tool pane. (this what you need !)

To controlling the order of tool parts within a tool pane as you want, you should retrieve the tool pane in the array passed to the GetToolParts method of the WebPart class. as something like this code:

public override Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ToolPart[] GetToolParts()
        { 
            //A 3 elements array to hold 3 properties pane in the toolpart
            Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ToolPart[] allToolParts = new Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ToolPart[3];

                //Toolpart for Default properties for every webpart
                Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartToolPart standardToolPart = new Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartToolPart();
                //Toolpart for Custom properties for every webpart
                Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.CustomPropertyToolPart customToolParts = new Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.CustomPropertyToolPart();
                allToolParts[0] = standardToolPart;
                allToolParts[1] = customToolParts;
                //our custom toolpart
                allToolParts[2] = new CustomToolPart();
                return allToolParts;

        }

  • for GetToolParts method, need to use WebPart of Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart. and not System.Web.Ui.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart
