The basic control is the PictureBox control.
Set
- Name = ButtonBar_UIPictureBox
- Align = Top (1)
- Appearance = Flat (0)
- BackColor = Menu Bar (System &H80000004&)
- BorderStyle = None (0)
Add 2 lines to separate the menu from the toolbar.
Make the second (lower) line longer than the first to
make it easier to select.
First line-
- Name = DarkMenuSeparator_UILine
- X1 = 0
- Y1 = 0
- Y2 = 0
- BorderColor = Button Shadow (System &H80000010&)
Second line-
- Name = LightMenuSeparator_UILine
- X1 = 0
- Y1 = 22
- Y2 = 22
- BorderColor = Button Highlight (System &H80000014&)
Add the following code to make the lines the correct width
Private Sub ButtonBar_UIPictureBox_Resize()
DarkMenuSeparator_UILine.X2 = ButtonBar_UIPictureBox.Width
LightMenuSeparator_UILine.X2 = ButtonBar_UIPictureBox.Width
End Sub
MFC provides a CToolbar class which allows a toolbar
to be docked at a windows's edge or it can float.
But, it is not on the tool palette.
Visual Basic 6.0 provides ComandBars to supply
both menu and toolbar functionality.
Dim mcbMenuCommandBar As Office.CommandBarControl
But there is no easy way to use them because
they too are not on the tool palette.
The Frame component can also contain other components,
but does not have an align property.
The help says that a wizard opens when you add
a toolbar to a form.
I'm sure this is a supper wizard ... but
"How do you open it?"
