Oh, Okay. I see. Don't feel bad though, everyone makes mistakes ever once in a while.
But I'll attempt to try that I suppose. I'm not sure if I'll have any luck on this one since I'm not real familiar with the coding off the top of my head.
But, I hope you get that project done! Best of luck!

Sorry, I had the ReportControl on my mind from another post ;) I meant the CommandBars Ribbon Sample that ships with the CJ controls (in your Program Files\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX vX.X.X\Samples\CommandBars\VB\RibbonSample folder, where X.X.X is the version of the suite that you have installed).

Unfortunately, I don't have much time right now to do up a sample as I have a project due very soon.

Between the RC sample and my explanation above, there should be enough to get started. Why don't you give it a try (maybe in a separate, new project) and when you encounter problems, you can post the project up here with questions (maybe a new thread would be better). I can then try to help with specific problems if I have a bit of time to spare (or others can help too).

Okay, that pretty much describes exactly what I'm looking for jpbro. Is there anyway you could explain that option in further detail or maybe a sample?

What problems were you having? A database or a text file should be fine for storing bookmarks. You can Add CommandBar controls using the Add method of a CommandBar.Controls object, and then use the Delete method of any CommandBar.Controls.Item object.

Editing is a bit trickier - You could use the CommandBars1_ControlRButtonUp event to catch when a user right-clicks a control, and then test the Id property to see if the control is one of your Bookmark controls. If so, you could then use the ShowPopup method of a CommandBar object to offer a menu with Edit and Remove buttons. If the user clicks Edit (as caught in the _Execute event), just show a new window and allow them to change the displayed caption.

Okay jpbro, you've help me this far and I really appreciate it. So, let me ask you this:

I have been trying to implement a "Favorites/Bookmarks" bar into the browser, similar to firefox, chrome, safari, and even IE 8.

So far I haven't had any luck whatsoever on this one. I've tried several different ways using a text file, a database and etc.

In other words, I would like to have a toolbar that displays the users favorites and the user can edit, delete, and create more bookmarks to the bar at runtime.

Have any ideas on this one my friend?

[SOLVED!] Combined Refresh and Stop button? : Sure, just create a new Action...

Sure, just create a new Action object and assign it a unique ID...something like:

In the General Declarations:

Private Const mc_ActionGo As Long = 102

And then, you will want to change the name of your control reference variable to make more sense:

Private mo_StopGoRefresh As XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl

Then wherever you create your actions, add:

With Me.CommandBars1.Actions.Add(mc_ActionGo, "Go", "Go to this URL", "Go to this URL", "Page")
   .IconId = ' ID # of GO icon
End With

And then instead of a SwapStopRefresh sub, you might want a SetPageState() sub (as an example):

First in the General Declarations, create a new enum to indicate the page state:


Private Enum e_PageState
   pagestate_Loaded   ' Page is loaded, REFRESH button should be available
   pagestate_Loading   ' Page is loading, STOP button should be available
   pagestate_DifferentUrl    ' User has typed a different URL than the current page URL, GO button should be available

And then add this sub, and call it with the appropriate page state parameter when your conditions are met:


Private Sub SetPageState(ByVal p_PageState As e_PageState)
   Dim l_ActionId As Long

   Select Case p_PageState
   Case pagestate_Loading
      l_ActionId = mc_ActionStop
   Case pagestate_Loaded
      l_ActionId = mc_ActionRefresh
   Case pagestate_DifferentUrl
      l_ActionId = mc_ActionGo
   Case Else
      Err.Raise 5, , "Unknown page state."
   End Select

   Set mo_StopGoRefresh.Action = Me.CommandBars1.Actions.Action(l_ActionId)
End Sub

Okay jpbro. Just got finished trying that code. It works perfect!

But, and I apologize, but I have another question for you. :p

What if I wanted to do a three button combination?

For example, Go, Refresh, and Stop.

I think You would have the refresh and stop setup on active forms web browser control and you would then have it set that if the address in the address bar is different from the location URL it would be a go button, otherwise it would be the refresh button.

Is there any way in doing that?

Oh, I see. That definitely makes sense. I'll try that asap!

But I figured the time zones were different. The whole website is setup that way. It's pretty funny actually, I can post a reply at 11:00 and it says I posted it at like 5:14 on the site.
