You could submit post in https://forum.codejock.com/forum_topics.asp?FID=158&title=articles-and-tutorials Maybe you will find other helpfull solutions (or your fellow OpenEdge users) which will be helpfull without having to worry like you already did

 

 

 

Ok, I understand what you mean. My best guess is that CJ Commandbars "tries" to include the Main menu but it fails somewhere... Look in the update event and add code so you can see if the commandbar items are created.

 

Note:

With VB, when dropping a CommandBar control on a form and a skin is applied, the main menu just looks like a "real" menu created with commandbars. The standard VB menu has been "integrated" and I'm able to use the Execute / Update event just as with ordinary created commandbar items (just mainitems aren't skinned)

 

Too bad, the member who had same problem, didn't respond anymore otherwise you would know what to do. Try to get in touch with the member (personal message or maybe email)

 

btw did you try with CommandBarsFrame? Some people use this to get it working within Access database... Never had to use it so I don't know if it works...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since your "fellow OpenEdge users" don't want to help, I will give it a try....

 

First of all I would like to know what you want. You mentioned, you want to "attach" a commandbars control to another "window"

 

The commandbars control is a Toolbar or what?

 

YES: The AttachToWindow method (with VB) works OK. If you use this method, you are able to "move" a toolbar to another "window" but it will be docked at position you defined (see bold part below)

 

With Me.CommandBars
        .AttachToWindow picBoxReport.hwnd
        With .Add("Tools", xtpBarRight)

        .....

        .....

End With

 

So this toolbar will be docked at right side of the picturebox BUT if you have some resizing function that will resize control in same picturebox as you attached the toolbar to, the toolbar won't be visible (it will stay behind the control you resized) In this case we need to resize the control inside picturebox a bit and normally you could do this by using ResizeClient event:

 

Private Sub CommandBars_ResizeClient(ByVal Left As Long, ByVal Top As Long, ByVal Right As Long, ByVal Bottom As Long)
        Me.wndReportControl.Move Left, Top, Right - Left, Bottom - Top 'This is a ReportControl that resides in another picturebox as the commandbars control (toolbar)
End Sub

 

With above code I was able to show the toolbar as should.  

 

 

NO:

Define Commandbar control

 

 

Hope this helps a bit, if not just reply again and I will see what I can do
