StatusBar

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

Hello
I have recently started to upgrade the interface of a VB6 application.  The SkinFramework is very impressive and instantly transforms the look of the product.
I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can point me in the right direction with :
1. I have removed the VB6 status bar and added one of your XtremeCommandBars.StatusBar controls.  I can add panes to this and have the text I require.  I cannot figure out however what controls the light / dark blue shading applied to the panes (light blue on the left hand side), or how to get seperator bars as used in Word 2007.
2. I would like to be able to add a clickable pane to the status bar, of which I can control the visibility.  I cannot seem to add the click event for the status bar such that it ever fires.  Is this possible to do easily ?

Many thanks for any help

	When you say you will add it I assume this is for the next version release. What sort of timescales are normally involved for your releases so I have an idea on when I may be able to use this please ? The paneclick event : No I dont receive it, but it may well be that I am doing something wrong. 1. I have an MDI form and have added a CommandBars control to it called objCommandbars. 2. In the MDIForm_Load event I add the status bar with a few panes (shown 1 pane added as an example) : Dim objStatusBar As XtremeCommandBars.StatusBar Dim objStatusBarPane As XtremeCommandBars.StatusBarPane ' Create a status bar and show it Set objStatusBar = objCommandbars.StatusBar objStatusBar.RemoveAll objStatusBar.Visible = True ' Add the panes for it Set objStatusBarPane = objStatusBar.AddPane(ID_STATUSBAR_REPORT) objStatusBarPane.Width = 96 objStatusBarPane.Style = SBPS_NOBORDERS objStatusBarPane.Alignment = xtpAlignmentLeft objStatusBarPane.Text = "Test" 3. Now I have added an event handler for the click event of the status bar : Private Sub StatusBar_PaneClick(ByVal Pane As XtremeCommandBars.StatusBarPane) Debug.Print "PaneClick. Id = "; Pane.ID End Sub 4. If I breakpoint this event and click the statusbar, all over it, it never triggers. It may well be the definition I have used for the event being incorrect, but I am unsure if this is the case or not. Many thanks
