Hi There,
| Hello, I like your toolbar but I had also a couple of requests. I
| have not had the chance to look much at the source (purchased) but if
| it was easy for you to do the following would be useful. It has been
| very easy to use with my existing bitmap icons.
Sure, fire away.
| 1) place for support, maybe a forum, even if it is in the realbasic
| forums
Sure, just e-mail me at any time for support.
| 2) having windows theme with the text placed below
Working on it.
| 3) having a MacOSX with a transparent background (when using the
| brushed metal look for the application)
Hmm - that'd require rewriting the toolbar quite a bit because to avoid the
double-flickering in Windows, the toolbar is double-buffered. It is possible
though, but I'd have to re-write parts of what I've done, so that'll have to
wait for v1.1. Watch this space.
| 4) optionally fixed spacing (to make things look well balanced on
| the horizontal menu, even when text for button is long) as described
| in point in the email below.
Yes, I can add that for the next release.
| 5) is it possible to add another icon to the original (like the
| triangle for drop down list) so that I could put something to
| indicate the status of the button action
I'm not sure what you mean by "indicate the status" of the button action.
You may set the button to "selected" by:
KillerToolBar1.SelectButton(ButtonName As String, theState As Boolean)
Is that what you mean?
| 6) How can I make extra buttons that are only in the customize list
| (I think that is the visible option)
Yes, see the example called "ControlsExample" - you simply set (as you
guessed correctly) the visible flag to "false" when you create the button.
Like so:
KillerToolBar1.CreateButton("BackBtn","Back",
"Return to the previous location in the location
history",GoBack,GoBack,GoBack16,GoBack16,false,true,nil)
^^^
You may also do the same for spacers:
KillerToolBar1.CreateSpacer(false)
| 7) do you have a recommended way to keep the toolbar settings
| between restarts of the application?
My mistake for not including that in the last release. I will update the
class with a simple procedure for you to do this.
| 8) I could only get the tooltips to appear for the toolbar demo,, I
| did not understand how to do this for an actual toolbar.
Simply drop a StaticText onto the bottom of your window, stretch the width
to fit the screen, then in the HelpTagText event of KillerToolBar1, put the
following code:
StaticText1.Text = theHelpTag
| Great toolbar and easy to setup!
Thank you. :)
I will keep you posted on the changes when I finish them.
Mark.
