Attach custom form to toolbar button

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

   Hello,
I just purchased the ActiveX suite and I am happy realy with everything except for the docs. 
I need to attach a form to a toolbar button and be able to resize it after the form is displayed, What I am trying to do is exactly as the Insert Table button on MS Frontpage do, that's when I click on the inert table button, it displays the form and if the user drags the mouse I can resize it.
This is an MDI project, I see in some sample you did something with a picture box.
Please drive me.
Thanks everyone

	Here is what I tried based on your sample: Dim ControlTableBox As CommandBarPopup Set ControlTableBox = .Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, ID_Table_InsertTable, "Insert Table") ControlTableBox.CommandBar.SetPopupToolBar True ControlTableBox.CommandBar.Title = "InsertTable" Private Sub CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup(ByVal CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar) Dim formTableBox As New frmTableBox If (CommandBar.Title = "InsertTable") Then Dim ControlForm As CommandBarControlCustom CommandBar.Controls.DeleteAll Set ControlForm = CommandBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, 0, "InsertTable") ControlForm.Handle = formTableBox.hwnd formTableBox.BackColor = CommandBars.GetSpecialColor(XPCOLOR_MENUBAR_FACE) Exit Sub End If End Sub and frmTableBox is a form with a picture box Picture1: Option Explicit Private Sub Picture1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single) Me.Width = Me.Width + 60 Picture1.Width = Picture1.Width + 60 Picture1.Height = Picture1.Height + 60 End Sub The popup control seems to set its width, height from the form before display, now the question is, how do I change the control with, height to fit the form after I resize it. Is there a .Width and .height to resize the opened popup or what Iam doing wrong. Edited by daliaessam

	Hi, Sorry, there were some vacations... Try this trick: 1. Add member of frmTableBox Public ControlForm As CommandBarControlCustom 2. Save it in CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup ... ControlForm.Handle = formTableBox.hWnd Set formTableBox.ControlForm = ControlForm 3. Private Sub Picture1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single) Picture1.Width = Picture1.Width + 60 Picture1.Height = Picture1.Height + 60 Me.Width = Me.Width + 60 Me.Height = Me.Height + 60 ControlForm.Handle = Me.hWnd Set TempControl = ControlForm.Parent.Controls.Add(xtpControlButton, 1, "") TempControl.Delete End Sub
