Hi all

I see xtpControlCustom type of Control but cannot find information about it.

I have to put custom control on toolbar. This control is Label. In real life i have to create an information row. Something like Outlook has. And i thought that this Custom style is designed specialy for this.

Does anybody know about this?

Tnx.

Here's how you can add a Vb6 comboBox. Combo1 is a comboBox on the form:

Dim mCustom As ICommandBarControlCustom

Set mCustom = CommandBars.Add(xtpControlCustom, 990, "Search:")
With Combo1
   mCustom.Handle = .hWnd
   .AddItem "Customer"
    .AddItem "Orders"
    .ListIndex = 1
End With

You might be looking for a ShortcutBarCaption control. From your description it wounds like you are looking for the bar at the bottom of the toolbar that says something like "Inbox". If that is the case, take a look at the ShortcutBar sample.

Hi all again

I looked at ShortcutBarCaption control and noticed that it can not be put on MDI form.

Is this possible?

tnx

hi,

expanding on this question - how can I add standard Label control to the end of my toolbar (after the last button), to take up the remaining client width and display to the user the current form title? I need to do this on an MDI form, and can't just draw a label on the form. using a label gives me control over font, size etc unless I can modify font attributes/width in the last CommandBars button?

thanks

Woody
