Locked Property for the Edit Control

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

   Here is a wish for the Edit Control in CommandBar: Could you add a Locked Property for this control, so that is can be used to display data, users can not alter. Today we only have the possibility to Disable it, and that changes the way it looks.

Another wish is a Label Control embedded in, so that if you add a Custom Control to the toolbar, you can add a Label to the left or right of it.
Regards,
Bjarne

	I'm not sure if this is what you mean by label, but you can show the text below your icons on the toolbar. ToolBar.ShowTextBelowIcons = True This will work for custom controls. Right now I think the only way to get a caption the the right is by using a split button popup.

	No that was not what I meant. If you use the build-in Combo Control you have the possibility to display a label/caption to the left of the ComboBox. If you use ICommandBarControlCustom this property is not available. So while I am writing this, I just figured out what I want. I would like a property added to ICommandBarControlCustom that makes it possible to display a label with the control. In ICommandBarComboBox it is implemented using the .Style property and in ICommandBarEdit it is implemented using the .ShowLabel property. Hope this explains it. (It's not easy when I don't even understand my self!) Bjarne
