Changing Font properties for Label

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Can I change font properties for a label on a commandbar?  

e.g. Dim cbl as CommandBarLabel

    Set cbl = .ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlLabel, 1, "Label Caption Goes Here")
cbl.fontbold = true

I basically want to reproduce the kind of control used in Sharepoint (shown below) which displays a popup menu when the drop down is clicked. Is there another control I should be using?

Thanks
Lee

	It doesn't look the same as the Sharepoint example, but you could use the xtpControlSplitButtonPopup control to get a clickable arrow button beside your caption.

	Yes you can....but then the caption itself acts like a button and not just a label, and I don't think you can change the font, align the text to the left (it centres) or put a line underneath. I ended up just creating a user control built of a label, a line and a commandbarpopup which snaps to the right hand side of the control when resized. Thanks Lee
