This is why I think the MiniToolBar will not work for you in this instance!

What you need is the floating CommandBar ToolBar instead which is in the first post. If the issue is due to the other post http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17845&title=how-to-setfocus-to-a-combobox

Then why not instead of using the Codejock xtpControlComboBox ComboBox why not use a VB.Combobox and link this into the Toolbar.


Dim custControl As CommandBarControlCustom

Set custControl = ToolBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, ID_TOOLBAR_COMBO, vbNullString)
custControl.Handle = cboCombo.hWnd


That way you have access to all the events like SetFocus etc!

> SetCursorPos 100, 100
This "solution" I was allready last friday checked. The problem is here, that the mouse pointer will move without the users will "like from a ghost hand" .

This irritate the user and is too much dirty coding. Disapprove

*hope you do understand what I mean (because my bad english!)

Ah ok,

Well like I said the MiniToolBar is designed to be used for formatting highlighted text. But with a little workaround you can programmtically reposition the Mouse Cursor to any location on screen just before you display the MiniToolBar! Therefore the MiniToolBar should gain focus Wink


Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" (ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long

' Add the code below to your event to show the MiniToolBar
SetCursorPos 100, 100
oMiniToolbar.PopupMiniToolBar , 1600, 1600

Hi,

what I want is this: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17845&title=how-to-setfocus-to-a-combobox

But this is also not possible because of a BUG or any else. So I was looking for a workaround...

My idea was now, to hide the minitoolbar and show it  immediately again on exacvtly the same screen-position like before. But now, with focused cursor inside the ComboBox!

Hi,

Can I ask what you intend to use the MiniToolBar for?

The reason I ask is that it is specifically designed for Formatting text a user has highlighted.

Link: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/add-formatting-to-your-document-by-using-the-mini-toolbar-HA010173624.aspx

If this is not what you are what to use it for then it won't work for you as it's desgined to appear when a user has highlighted text to give them required options, which means the users mouse is close by the XY co-cordinates.

If you are looking for different functionality then I believe you may have to stick with the first sample I posted, which is to create a Floating CommandBar ToolBar.

Sorry if I have not helped.

Hi,

Sorry about that, I have never used the MiniToolBar before.

I have created a new sample project for you to test out.

Thank you! But what I mean is a really "Minitoolbar" (without a caption!) not a popupform!

>> Dim oMyMiniToolbar As MiniToolBar

Hi Jebo,

I have attached a small sample of how to create a ToolBar that starts in a floating position and can be positioned anywhere on screen as you require. I have created 4 TextBoxes and on GotFocus of each box the ToolBar will position itself above the selected control.



Sample: uploads/2960/ToolBar_Popup.rar

Is this what you're looking for?

How do I popup a MiniToolBar on a specific screen-position?

For example: This will not work: oMiniToolbar.PopupMiniToolBar , 1600, 1600

So do I need a special Flag or any else???
