Toolbar buttons

[jimday1982]

I have a toolbar with buttons but when I doubleclick one of the buttons to put code behind them, I am only able to put code behind the WHOLE toolbar and not the individual buttons. What's the secret to putting code behind each button on the toolbar? Thanks

You need to compare the text of your button and run the right button.

 

Exp:

 

==========================================

Private Sub ToolBar1_ButtonClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs) Handles ToolBar1.ButtonClick

Try

 

Select Case e.Button().Text().ToUpper()

Case "EXIT"

' Do something here (exit)

Case "LOAD"

' Load something here (application ..)

Case "RUN"

' Run something here (Application)

Case Else

MsgBox("Unimplement button, try later")

End Select

Catch Exp As Exception

MsgBox("Exception: " & Exp.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Critical)

End Try

End Sub

=======================================

 

Hope that help

Select Case toolBar1.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button)
       Case 0
           Insert your code for button 0
       Case 1
           Insert your code for button 1
       Case 2
           Insert your code for button 2
   End Select

Select Case toolBar1.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button)
       Case 0
           Insert your code for button 0
       Case 1
           Insert your code for button 1
       Case 2
           Insert your code for button 2
   End Select

There is a toolbar windows forms control. Are you maybe thinking about some other toolbar?

I found it! hehehe :p

 

But, are toolbars that common, and are they used for a lot of things?

[mutant]

:)

Yeah, they are used very commonly. For example open WordPad, you see the buttons down below the menu? That is a toolbar, same goes for VS.NET, except they have a custom toolbar that looks so much better than the standard one :).

Some more exaple, Internet explorer, outlouk exprless, office 97-2003 beta, Visualstudio, ...

Is there a way to make toolbars to run vertical rather than horizontal?

[Winston]

they would have to be custom made toolbars which are dockable

standard conventional toolbars provided by .NET itself doesn't support this let alone does it support chevron and grippers.

[bfellwock]

Yes Diablicolic, you can make the toolbar vertical. Check out the dock property of the toolbar. You can set the dock property to NONE and put the toolbar wherever you want.

So tttthhhhaaattt's what the dock property does lol.

 

Thank you.
