SharePoint 2013: Implement Custom Promoted ActionsDelegate Control
Introduction
In this article, we will see how to implement PromotedActionsDelegate Control.
PromotedActions:
Delegate Control is responsible for displaying Links “Share, Follow, SYNC, EDIT” in the top right below SuiteLinksDelegate Control. These links can be replaced by Overriding PromotedActions Delegate Control using a Custom Control created using Visual Studio to the following area on a SharePoint site in the top-right section of the page.
Step 1:

**Create one Empty SharePoint Project and provide the Solution Name and choose the Solution Path and click OK.
Step 2:
**
**Deploy the Solution as Farm Solution. Provide the Url in next screen and validate the Connection.
Step 3:
**
**Add New UserControl to the Project from the Templates and provide the Name to it, in our case it is “MyCustomPromotedActionsDelegate”.
Now our Solution Explorer looks like the following,
Step 4:
Now open the “.ascx” of the User Control and paste the following code.
Step 5:
Add Elements.xml file to the Solution, provide the name and click Add.
Step 6:
Click on elements.xml file and paste the following code snippet inside the elements tag,
- <?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>
- <Elementsxmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
- <!-- DelegateControl reference to the PromotedActions Delegate Control -->
- <ControlControlSrc="/_controltemplates/15/PromotedActionsDelegate_Example/MyCustomPromotedActionsDelegate.ascx" Id="PromotedActions" Sequence="1" />
- </Elements>
- </Elements>

The final outcome will look as follows:
