    Posted: 25 March 2009 at 6:03am
Hi,
 
I have ActiveX: Xtreme Command Bars ActiveX v13.0.0.
The pane 0 in Statusbar displays text when we hover over any toolbar or menuitem.
My requirement is that I have to display the text plus some customized text.
This customized text depends on the toolbar or menu item over which mouse is hovering.
 
Is there any way to capture the Mouse Hover event to display customized text in Status bar?
 
Regards
Sunil

Hello,
 
You can set some Id to first pane - in this case you have manually set test to StatusBar.
 
Now catch ControlSelected ans set it.
 
Private Sub CommandBars_ControlSelected(ByVal Control As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBarControl)
    If (Not Control Is Nothing) Then "Set Text to" Control.DescriptionText
End Sub

Thanks.. It seems to solve my problem.
 
I have one more thing though. In addition to customized text, I need to display an icon with the  text on the same pane.
For the icon I have HICON. This HICON is retrieved using the Windows function SHGetFileInfo.
 
a) How can I set the iconindex property using this HICON.
 
I guess when i set the icon index correctly and the Text, it will display the icon and the text in the pane.
 
b) How is the icon and text displayed? I mean is the icon before the text or is the text before the icon?

Before I add the icon using the CommandBars.ImageManager.AddIcon, is there any way in which I can find out whether
an icon with the same id already exists or not?

Hi,
 
Call CommandBars.Icons.GetImage(id) - if it return "Nothing" you didn't have icon.

Hi Oleg,

To get a valid icon I could use ImageManager.Icons.GetImage

GetImage require 2 parameters:

Command
Id of an Image within the control's Icons collection.
Width
Width of the Image to retrieve.
I know the id of the image, but how would  I know which width. Even if I send some random width, it could send a scaled image.
I think this is what the documentaion suggest:
******************************************
If the image with the Command does not have an image of the specified width, then the image size that is the closest match will be Scaled to the desired size.
******************************************

What do you say?

Hi,
 
Set it to 0 - it will return smallest width.
