command bar does not minimize

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I have an issue that I cannot figure out.

When "I detach' my tool/command bar from the application form.. it does 
not minimize with the application..

i.e. it remains visible when my application is minimized.

The sample code examples do not exhibit this behavior but I don't see an
 implicit command to make sure the command bars minimize.

Any help is appreciated.  

George

PS.  This is a VB6 project.

	Hi, I would have guessed this would be taken care off by setting Commandbars.Options.SyncFloatingToolbars = True but it isn't working Floating toolbar only hides when application looses focus and I don't see any other options... If you are really desperate, just add following code in Form_Resize event: Private Sub Form_Resize() If Me.WindowState = vbMinimized Then CommandBars(1).Visible = False End Sub Where (1) is the index of your commandbar, if you have more just loop through CommandBars

	Thanks for the reply. I am just wondering why the sample VB6 project's toolbars disappear when I minimize their form. They do not have the code that you refer to. Thanks, George

	Hi, Yes, you are right. I tried with SDISample and the toolbars disappear when form is minimized. I have to find out what to do to get this working

	Hi, Seems that we don't have to do anything. I re-opened my test project and it works just without any settings. I could have sworn that it didn't work before I tried with SDISample The only thing I noticed (I was testing with a CommandBars control inside a picturebox) it doesn't work when minimizing the application. Do you have CommandBars inside PictureBox?
