Questions about the CommandBar Designer

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

Hi @All,

I'm new for using the "CommandBar Designer" and very shocked about the "not really easy" Designer-user interface! 

So I have some questions (didn't answered in the helpfile!):

1. For what I can use the left pane "Actions Library" - what is the meaning of it??? 
2. In the right pane "Properties" I see some Action-ID's they I dont need anymore - so how can I delete this not needed items (ActionID's)?
3. How can I rename ActionID's (I mean button-names!)?
4. How do I use the ImageManager or a VB ImageList with the Designer (don't understand it)?

Thank you for any help!

	Hi, 1 Actions library to easy share same actions between GUIs. or you can use standard actions - drag them to Controls pane. 2. CommandBars ->Resource Symbols. 3. ?? select and change in properties ? 4. in Icons pane press "New" and set id. Now you can edit image for this Id.

	Hi Oleg, > 2. CommandBars ->Resource Symbols. If I try this there are "numbers left"? So I can't really delete it. What Do I wrong??? Here are the stepts: > 3. ?? select and change in properties ? Sorry, bit this is not possible! For example. I want to rename "ID_TESTB" to "ID_TESTC". If I try to select and change "ID_TESTB" to "ID_TESTC", the result is NO RENAME - It will insert A NEW ActionID. But I want only to RENAME the ActionID !!! > 4. in Icons pane press "New" and set id. Now you can edit image for this Id. Sorry, also I don't understand. With this way I'm able to insert new icons in the designer. But what I mean is, I've already for example 200 icons in my application (in a VB's imageList- or maybe in a ImageManager-control). HOW can I set this Icons to my new CommandBar, designed in your editor???

	Hi, 2. right, you removed resource but action still exists. seems now only one way, switch to XML, delete line and switch back. Will update code that will delete action too. 3. seems again only to replace text in XML mode. in resource symbol I will add Rename button now. 4. If you have ImageManager control with icons you just call Set CommandBars.Icons = ImageManager.Icons but you must be sure that Id of controls and icons syncronized. best way is to export in your ImageManager to XML or Bitmap and Import in Designer.

	> 2) I already tried that. But the changes are not applied. If I switch back to design mode all deleted text in XML is here again. If I click now again the XML-button, everything is here again! What's wrong??? > 3) > seems again only to replace text in XML mode Same problem like >2) > in resource symbol I will add Rename button now. That's good! > 4) OK will try out. Thanks!
