Hi. I am trying to implement the commandbar with frame in PowerBuilder 11.5. We have successfully designed a ribbonBar in the Codejock design tool and pulled it into the OLE container that contains the Active X. We cannot get it to become the title bar of the window or make it part of the window. Is this even possible in PowerBuilder? I have tried the code snippets here but they do not work.

Also whenever you programmatically manipulate the control you lose the .xcb definition. When I try to programmatically load the .xcb file using

ole_1.object.LoadFromFile("c:\development\codejock\Form1.xcb")

I get a system error saying unknown function, yet the documentation specifies that this is an available function. I have tried a few flavors of calling this method including the following:

ole_1.object.CommandBars.LoadFromFile("c:\development\codejock\Form1.xcb")

ole_1.object.CommandBarsFrame.LoadFromFile("c:\development\codejock\Form1.xcb")

Any help, guidance or suggestions is greatly appreciated. thanks

ole_commandbutton.object.AttachToWindow(parent.handle)

is the trick!

Hi,
I did the same that you as well and had no results when I tried to run it. Maybe it will need code the resize event or something... if you could fix it please say me me how you did...

Hello,

I am testing how CommandBars works and how i can install CommandBars in our application.

Is there a example or something like that how i can install CommandBars in a powerbuilder application?

Things that i have done:

Insert the CommandBars activex control and named ole_commandbutton.
I placed this code in the open event for the window:


OLEOBJECT ole_ribbenbar
ole_commandbutton.object.VisualTheme = 6
ole_ribbenbar = ole_commandbutton.object.AddRibbonBar("Test");
ole_ribbenbar.EnableDocking(64)
ole_ribbenbar.EnableFrameTheme()

Greetings,
