The below post provides an excellent explanation of ribbon sharing but how one would go about doing the same for command bars?

Hello,

For commandbar controls to share the same command bar, the corresponding ADXCommandBar components must have the same value in their Name properties. If the command bar(s) are temporary (ADXCommandBar.Temporary = true) you will have to write some logic in order to preserve the command bar undeleted when one of the add-ins got shut down.
