I am working with dev ex controls and on a menu bar item there isnt a property for setting the button to Visible or not Not Visible.
Can you add properties like this to pre made controls? If so how would you do it?

A:
If allowed (control class not marked as sealed), you should create another control that inherits from your dev ex control in order to add extra properties.

Can you give me a sample, I dont see how you can create a visible-not visible behavior if it isnt available to you.

Well, the control has a lot of protected methods and properties (not visible for class consumers). When you inherits, you'll have access to them. I can't say 100% sure that you'll able to achieve what you want since I don't know those controls but I think it's worth a try.

An alternative if you can use inheritance.
You can create extension methods that will act like properties.
GetCompanyName()
SetCompanyName()
After all, properties are language shortcut to create them at compilation ;)
